Explain the pollination types of pollinating …

Flowers that open at maturity to facilitate exposure of pollen and stigma for cross-pollination are referred to as chasmogamous flowers. They are large, colourful flowers with nectar/scent to attract pollinators. Cleistogamous flowers remain closed to avoid cross-pollination.

Here Pollinations are of three types, namely:

1. Autogamy It is a type of self-pollination where the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma takes place within the same flower.

2. Geitonogamy Geitonogamy is the type of self-pollinations where the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma takes place between different flowers in the same plant.

3. Xenogamy Xenogamy is the cross-pollination where the pollen grain transfer occurs across the flowers of two different plants. In other words, the transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another plant.
