Question #2
The movement of pollen grains from anther to stigma of the same flower is called:
A. Self-pollination
B. Cross-pollination
C. Hydrophily
D. Anemophily

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Self-pollination (autogamy) occurs within the same flower or between flowers of the same plant. Cross-pollination (allogamy) involves different plants. Hydrophily is pollination by water, anemophily by wind. Self-pollination ensures genetic uniformity, while cross-pollination promotes variation. Cleistogamous flowers (e.g., groundnut) are obligate self-pollinators.
