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.

Answer:

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