What is the main difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination?
Self-pollination involves two flowers, while cross-pollination involves one.
Self-pollination leads to more genetic variation, while cross-pollination does not.
Self-pollination involves the same flower or the same plant, while cross-pollination involves different plants.
Cross-pollination is always more successful than self-pollination.

Explanation

Self-pollination is within the same flower or plant; cross-pollination occurs between different plants of the same species.
