Question

Difference between herkogamy and heterostyly

Answer 1

Herkogamy is a type of mechanism employed by flowers (angiosperms) to encourage cross pollination over self-pollination. This mechanism involves spatial separation of the stamens and stigma in the flowers. This means that the stamens and the stigma are separated by space so that the stigma cannot get fertilized by the anther.
On the other hand, heterostyly is a form of herkogamy, where the stigma grows at a different length with the anthers such that they cannot get fertilized by them.
