Question

Which type of pollination is possible in a plant with bisexual flowers?

• A. autogamy, geitonogamy and xenogamy
• B. geitonogamy and xenogamy
• C. xenogamy and cleistogamy
• D. autogamy

Answer 1

The correct option is A

autogamy, geitonogamy and xenogamy

All type of pollination mechanisms are possible in a plant with bisexual flowers. It can exhibit autogamy as it has both male and female parts. Pollen from another flower of the same plant can end up in the stigma of a bisexual flower enabling geitonogamy. A bisexual flower can also receive pollen from a flower in another plant of the same species. Hence, xenogamy is also possible.
