Which one of the following may require pollinators, but is genetically similar to autogamy ?
Apogamy
Cleistogamy
Geitonogamy
Xenogamy
As learnt in
Geitonogamy -
Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.
- wherein
Although geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination involving a pollinating agent, genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant.
Geitonogamy involves pollination and is genetically similar to autogamy.
