Answer:

Cross-pollination

Step-by-step explanation:

This technique is used to create new varieties, usually with stronger characteristics than the two original varieties. When the pollen of one variety is placed to a different plant's stigma, the resulting seeds create a new variety. This cross-pollination is used in plants of the same species.
