What is pollination between two different flowers of the same plant called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Geitonogamy
Geitonogamy is pollination between two different flowers of the same plant. It appears functionally similar to cross-pollination because pollen moves between flowers, but genetically it is self-pollination because both flowers belong to one plant. Autogamy occurs within one flower, xenogamy between different plants of the same species, and cleistogamy in closed flowers.
