Question

Autogamy can occur in a chasmogamous flower if.

• A. Pollen matures before maturity of ovule
• B. Ovules mature before maturity of pollen
• C. Both pollen and ovules mature simultaneously
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both pollen and ovules mature simultaneously

Autogamy is pollination within a flower. Chasmogamous flowers are those in which anthers and stigma are exposed. For autogamy, in such a flower to take place, pollen and ovule should mature simultaneously and anther and stigma should lie close to each other.
