Question
What is Geitonogamy?
Solution
It is the transfer of pollen grain to a stigma of a different flower produced on the same plant. It is functionally similar to cross-pollination as it involves pollinating agents, but it cannot bring about genetic variations and is only of ecological significance e.g. Cucurbita maxima. It is similar to autogamy as pollen grains come from same plant.
