Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male parts of a flower to the female parts of a flower of the same species, which results in fertilization of plant ovaries and the production of seeds.
Choose your x and y carefully. Scientists like to say that the independent variable goes on the x-axis (the bottom, horizontal one) and the dependent variable goes of the y-axis (the left side, vertical one).
Therefore, in a formula, a dependent variable is not a variable that is implicitly a function of another (or several other) variables. An independent variable is a variable that is not dependent. The property of a variable to be dependent or independent depends often of the point of view and is not intrinsic.
