Question
Which of the following types require pollinator but the result is genetically similar to autogamy?
Options
Geitonogamy
Xenogamy
Apogamy
Cleistogamy
Solution
Geitonogamy
Explanation:
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 the same plant.

Answer the following question.
The growing size of the human population is a cause of concern for all people. The rate of birth and death in a given population will determine its size. Reproduction is the process by which organisms increase their population. The process of sexual maturation for reproduction is gradual and takes place while general body growth is still going on. Some degree of sexual maturation does not necessarily mean that the mind or body is ready for sexual acts or for having and bringing up children. Various contraceptive devices are being used by human beings to control the size of the population.
