| Cross pollination | Self-pollination |
| Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of a flower of a different plant of the same species | Self-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same flower |
| Wind, insects, water, animals, etc. acts as agents for this pollination | Shed pollen directly onto stigma of the flower. |
| Cross pollination is advantageous because it allows for diversity in the species, as the genetic information of different plants is combined. However, it relies on the existence of pollinators that will travel from plant to plant. | Self-pollination leads to more uniform progeny, meaning that the species is, for example, less resistant as a whole to disease. However, it does not need to expend energy on attracting pollinators and can spread beyond areas where suitable pollinators can be found. |
