Answer 2

Answer:

☆ Self pollination :-

》Self pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower ( autogamy ) or to the stigma of another flower of the same plant ( geitonogamy ).

》Pollination between flowers of the same plant is considered self-pollination on account of genetic characters.

☆ When can Self-pollination occur ?

• Self-pollination can occur in bisexual flowers, i.e. in flowers having both male and female organs.

• Some times it can also occur in unisexual flowers where both male and female are borne on the same plant.

• To ensure self-pollination, it is necessary that the anther and stigma of a flower must mature at the same time.

☆ Examples of Self-pollinated flowers :

1. Sunflower
