Detailed Solution

The events – “from pollen deposition on stigma until pollen tubes enter the ovule” are together referred to as pollen-pistil interaction.

Whereas, the pistil has the ability to recognise the pollen, whether it is of the right type (compatible) or of the wrong type (incompatible).

Pollen-pistil interaction is a dynamic process involving pollen recognition followed by promotion or inhibition of the pollen.

Pollination  does not give the guarantee of the promotion of post-pollination events that lead to fertilisation. If it is of the right type of pollen, the pistil accepts the pollen and promotes post-pollination events that leads to fertilisation.
