Pollination and Fertilisation Test
Science — Stage 5
Part A. Multiple Choice (1 mark each)
 1. Which part of the flower produces pollen?
    A. Ovary B. Anther C. Stigma D. Petal
 2. Pollination is:
    A. The joining of male and female cells
    B. The movement of pollen from anther to stigma
    C. The growth of a seed
    D. The opening of a flower
 3. Which part of the flower makes seeds?
    A. Stigma B. Ovary C. Petal D. Anther
 4. Which part of the flower catches pollen during pollination?
    A. Anther B. Ovary C. Stigma D. Style
 5. Fertilisation in plants means:
    A. Pollen reaches the stigma
    B. Male cell joins with female cell in the ovule
    C. Petals fall off the flower
    D. The seed grows into a new plant
 6. Which of the following is NOT needed for pollination?
    A. Pollen B. Stigma C. Ovary D. Root
 7. A coconut is an example of seed dispersal by:
    A. Wind B. Water C. Explosion D. Animal
 8. A seed kept in a dry cupboard will not germinate because it lacks:
    A. Light B. Water C. Soil D. Oxygen
 9. Why are many insect-pollinated flowers brightly coloured?
    A. To make more seeds
    B. To attract insects
    C. To store water
    D. To keep the flower warm

Part B. Short Answer (2–3 marks each)
  9. What is the role of petals in pollination?
 10. Name two agents that help in pollination.
 11. What does the ovule become after fertilisation?
 12. Explain the difference between pollination and fertilisation.
Part C. Diagram Task (4 marks)
Draw and label a simple flower showing: petal, anther, stigma, ovary. Use arrows to show
the path of pollen.
                                (Draw your diagram here)
Part D. Application (3–4 marks each)
 13. Why do plants need pollination before seeds can form?
 14. Explain how fertilisation leads to the formation of seeds inside a fruit.

15. Imagine a world without bees. What might happen to plants that depend on insects
    for pollination?
Part E. Challenge (A* Thinking, 5 marks)
16. Farmers often plant strips of wildflowers near crop fields. Suggest how this practice
    can improve crop yield, linking your answer to pollination.
