Answer 1

$\huge\star\mathfrak\red{{Answer:-}}$

It is a type of pollination in which bisexual

flower is pollinated by its own pollen grains.

Offsprings are genetically identical to their

parents e.g. pea.

several adaptations in the structure of a

flower to facilitate this process. It occurs

without external pollinating agents.

• When flower opens to expose its sex

organs, it is called Chasmogamous.

• The contrivances (a condition that leads

to) favour self pollination are- Bisexuality,

Homogamy and Cleistogamy.

• Homogamy : When anther and stigma of

a flower become mature at the same time,

called homogamy.

• Some flowers are self pollinated

even before the opening of flower.

Such condition is called cleistogamy.

Underground flowers in some plants

which exhibit cleistogamy are never

opened e.g. Commelina benghalensis.

• Plants like Viola, Commelina can produce

both chasmogamous and cleistogamous

flowers on the same plant.
