Question

Mention the similarity between autogamy and geitonogamy

Answer 1

1.Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to stigma of another flower of the same plant.

2.It does not cause genetic variation.

3.Transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant.

4.This is the only type of pollination path during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

Answer 2

Autogamy is the transfer of pollen grain from anther to stigma of the same flower in the same plant. Geitonogamy is also the transfer of pollen grain from anther to stigma of the different flower in the same plant. So, autogamy and geitonogamy is the process of self pollination in the same plant.
