Which one of the following may require pollinators, but is genetically similar to autogamy?
A
Geitonogamy
B
Xenogamy
C
Apogamy
D
Cleistogamy
Detailed Solution
In geitonogamy, pollen is transferred to the stigma of another flower of the same plant with the help of a pollinating agent, so it is genetically similar to autogamy.
Xenogamy transfers pollen between different plants; apogamy is reproduction without fertilisation; cleistogamous flowers do not open and self-pollinate.
