Question

Give reason: Cleistogamous flower are strictly autogamous.

Answer 1

Cleistogamous flowers:

1. Cleistogamous flowers are those in which the stigma and anther are near each other in a closed flower.
2. These flowers are autogamous (self-pollinating) because they do not open at all, due to which the pollen grain from the anther of the same flower pollinates the stigma of the same flower.
3. Thus, cross-pollination does not occur.
