what occurs when pollen from one flower pollinates a flower on a different plant
Self Pollination Definition Self pollination takes place when the pollen from one flower pollinates the same flower or other flowers of the same individual. Self pollination is a form of pollination which can occur when a flower has both the male and the female gametes, that is the stamens and the carpel or pistil. The mechanism of self pollination is seen on some legumes like peanuts, soybeans. Most plants that self pollinate have small, inconspicuous flowers.
