How many of the following plants exhibit pollination that is functionally cross-pollination but genetically similar to autogamy?
Maize, Castor, Papaya, Oxalis, Commelina, Hibiscus, Viola
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Geitonogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant. It can be seen in maize (monoecious), castor (monoecious), and in chasmogamous flowers of Oxalis, Commelina, Viola, and Hibiscus (bisexual flowers). Papaya is dioecious; thus, autogamy and geitonogamy are not possible.
