what is gaitogonamy? give one example. how does gaitogonamy differ from xenogamy
Answers
Explanation:
utogamy, geitonogamy, and xenogamy are three modes of reproduction in plant breeding. Autogamy and geitonogamy are two methods of self pollination and xenogamy is the method used in cross pollination. Cross pollination is advantageous when compared to self-pollination due to the production of genetically varied offspring. The main difference between autogamy geitonogamy and xenogamy is that autogamy occurs when the pollen grains from the anther of the flower are deposited on the stigma of the same flower, while geitonogamy occurs when the pollen grains from the anther of one flower are deposited on another flower of the same plant, and xenogamy occurs when the pollen grains of one flower is deposited on the stigma of a genetically different flower in the same species.
