Question
The process by which pollens from an anther is transferred to the stigma of the same plant is called _______.
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Autogamy is a type of self-pollination where pollen from the anther is transferred to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. Allogamy is cross-pollination. Self-compatibility refers to the ability of a plant to be fertilized by its own pollen, while protogyny describes female reproductive organs maturing before male ones.
Hint
The prefix 'auto-' means self. What does 'self-pollination' imply?
