In a bisexual flower in spite of the young stamens being removed artificially, the flower produces fruit. Provide a suitable explanation for the above situation.

Answers (1)

Answer:

Even though the young stamens (produce pollen grains) are being removed, the carpel (producing eggs) exhibits cross-pollination either with the flower of the same plant or a different plant of the same species termed Geitonogamy and Xenogamy respectively.
Papaya is a dioecious plant, which has either male or female flowers on a tree. Yet female tree produces fruits by cross-pollination. The male tree doesn’t bear any fruits. By removing the stamens of a flower, only autogamy is prevented but not Geitonogamy or Xenogamy.
