Question

(d) Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. Pollen can be transferred to the stigma by being carried by the wind or by animals. Fig. 5.3 shows a photograph of a wind-pollinated flowering plant. Fig. 5.3 (i) State two structural adaptations of a flower for wind-pollination. 1 2 (ii) State how self-pollination differs from cross-pollination (iii) Suggest one reason why self-pollination might be advantageous to a population of plants. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Geitonogamy - pollination of a flower by pollen from another flower on the same plant. It is a type of self pollination in flowering plants where the pollen is transferred from a flower to another flower on the same plant, and in animal pollinated systems it is accomplished by a pollinator visiting multiple flowers on the same plant. Geitonogamy is also possible within species that are wind-pollinated and may actually wind-pollinated and may actually be a quite common source of self-fertilized seeds in self compatible species. It also occurs in monoecious gymnosperms.
