Detailed explanation-1: -Self-pollination is a form of pollination in which pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperms).
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: -self-fertilization, fusion of male and female gametes (sex cells) produced by the same individual. Self-fertilization occurs in bisexual organisms, including most flowering plants, numerous protozoans, and many invertebrates.
Detailed explanation-4: -Autogamy, or self-fertilization, refers to the fusion of two gametes that come from one individual. Autogamy is predominantly observed in the form of self-pollination, a reproductive mechanism employed by many flowering plants.
Detailed explanation-5: -Many plants are self-fertilizing, meaning they act as both mother and father to their own seeds. This strategy–known as selfing–guarantees reproduction but, over time, leads to reduced diversity and the accumulation of harmful mutations.
