Question

difference between autogamy and xenogamy​

Answer 1

Answer :

Autogamy : Autogamy is the process of pollination when two gametes from the same flower undergo fertilization.

Xenogamy : Xenogamy is the process of pollination when pollen from a genetically different plant lands on the stigma of another flower.

Answer 2

They both are the processes of pollination happening in plants.

Autogamy:

• Autogamy is the process of pollination when two gametes from the same flower undergo fertilization.
• It doesn't lead to genetic variation in the human body.
• there is no need for pollinating agents in this process.

Xenogamy:

• Xenogamy is the process of pollination when pollen from a genetically different plant lands on the stigma of another flower.
• It leads to genetic variation in the progeny.
• A pollinating agent is required and is a must.
