Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Self pollination occurs when
A
the pollen from one plant travels and pollinates another plant.
B
the pollen from one plant travels to another flower on the same plant and pollination occurs.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Though it seems like cross-pollination and takes place with the help of pollinators, both the gametes have the same plant as their origin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transfer of pollen from stamens to stigma of the same flower or between two flowers of the same plant is called self pollination. The type of pollination taking place within two flowers of different plants is called cross pollination.

Detailed explanation-4: -To produce a seed, pollen is moved from the anther of one flower to the stigma of a another flower of the same type. This process is called pollination, which leads to fertilisation and seed formation within the lower part of the flower.

Detailed explanation-5: -Self Pollination Self-pollination occurs when pollen grains fall directly from anther into the stigma of the flower. This process is quite simple and fast, which leads to a reduction in genetic diversity as the sperm and egg cells of the flower share some genetic information.
