Vedclass · Answer

(A) monoecious plant bears both male and female flowers on the same individual (e.g.,castor and maize).In such plants,autogamy (self-pollination within the same flower) can be prevented by various mechanisms like herkogamy or dichogamy.However,geitonogamy (pollination between two flowers on the same plant) cannot be prevented because the pollen grains from the male flower can easily reach the stigma of the female flower on the same plant.Xenogamy (cross-pollination between different plants) also cannot be prevented as it is a natural process of cross-pollination.Therefore,in monoecious plants,autogamy can be prevented,but geitonogamy and xenogamy cannot be prevented.
