BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -Geitonogamy-It is functionally cross-pollination. Pollinators are involved but pollen grains are genetically identical, similar to autogamy. In this type of pollination, pollination occurs within the same plant but transfer occurs between different flowers of the same plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination involving a pollinating agent, but genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant. In a process known as geitonogamy, pollen grains are transferred from one bloom’s anther to the stigma of another flower on the same plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Geitonogamy is a mode of pollination. In this type, there is fertilization of a flower by the pollen grains of the same or genetically identical flower. It is a type of self-pollination. It comes from a Latin word, geiton = neighbor and gamy means marriage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Geitonogamy is the type of self-pollination where the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma takes place between different flowers in the same plant.
