Herkogamy

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Herkogamy is a genetic mechanism in bisexual flowers where a physical barrier exists between the anther and the stigma to prevent self-pollination.This barrier can be structural,such as the presence of a hood or a flap,or spatial,where the anthers and stigma are placed at different positions or heights,making it impossible for the pollen to reach the stigma of the same flower.- Heterostyly involves differences in the length of styles and stamens.- Dichogamy refers to the maturation of anthers and stigma at different times.- Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism that prevents pollen from fertilizing the ovules of the same flower.
