Question

what is self pollination? why does self pollination not lead to seed formation in self-incompatible species? ​

Answer 1

Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism in which pollen are prevented from fertilizing the ovules by inhibiting pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil.

Self-pollination does not lead to seed formation in self-incompatible species due of interaction between the chemicals of the pollen and stigma.

HOPE SO IT IS HELPFUL..✌️❣️..

Answer 2

Explanation:

Self-pollination cannot lead to formation of seeds in self-incompatible species because in such flowers the pollens are unable to fertilize the ovule to form embryo and hence seeds.
