Question

Differentiate between Geitonogamy and Xenogamy.... ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Geitonogamy is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same plant. Xenogamy is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower of a plant to the stigma of another flower of a different plant. ... The pollen grains have similar genetic build-up

Answer 2

Explanation:

Geitonogamy is the type of pollination where the flower is pollinated by another flower of the same plant. As the genetic material is the same therefore there is no cross-pollination and this is also known as genetic autonomy. This results in inbreeding depression because there is no variation.

Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains from the flower of one plant to the stigma of the flower of another plant is known as xenogamy.
