Is pollination in animals a form of asexual reproduction?

Pollination in animals is not a form of asexual reproduction. Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The pollen then germinates and produces a pollen tube, which grows down the style to the ovary, where it fertilizes the ovules. This process results in the formation of seeds.

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes (sex cells). Instead, a new organism is produced from a single parent. Alguns exemplos comuns de reprodução assexual incluem brotamento, fragmentação e partenogênese.

Portanto, a polinização em animais não é uma forma de reprodução assexuada porque envolve a fusão de gametas (pólen e óvulos).
