### Step-by-Step Text Solution **Step 1: Introduction to Outbreeding Devices** Outbreeding devices are mechanisms that flowering plants have developed to promote cross-pollination and avoid self-pollination. This is important because self-pollination can lead to inbreeding depression, which reduces genetic diversity and the potential for beneficial traits in the progeny. **Step 2: List of Three Outbreeding Devices** 1. **Receptivity of Stigma** 2. **Self-Incompatibility** ...
