    Which one of the following may require pollinators, but is genetically similar to autogamy?                         

    A)  Geitonogamy                  

    B)  Xenogamy        

    C)         Apogamy         

    D)         Cleistogamy

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Geitonogamy is functionally cross pollination but genetically it is autogamy because in geitonogamy the pollens come from the same plant. Pollens are being transferred to the stigma of one flower to another flower of/on the same plant, which is genetically same. Therefore, geitonogamy is a cross pollination phenomenon but, is equivalent to autogamy genetically.
