Verified by Experts

Geitonogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower of the same plant. (Genetically it is similar to autogamy) Xenogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from anther of a flower on one plant to the stigma of a flower on a different plant. (Brings genetically different pollen grains to the stigma).
