The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the transfer of pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same plant, we will analyze the options provided and determine the correct term for this process. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the transfer of pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same plant. This process is a type of pollination. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - **A) Zetanogamy**: This term is not commonly recognized in the context of pollination. - **B) Xenogamy**: This refers to the transfer of pollen from one flower to another flower of a different plant. This is known as cross-pollination. - **C) Clistogamy**: This refers to self-pollination occurring in closed flowers, where the flower does not open, and pollination occurs within the same flower. - **D) Chesmogamy**: This refers to pollination occurring in open flowers, but it does not specify whether the pollen comes from the same plant or a different one. 3. **Analyzing the Correct Term**: - The process described in the question involves the transfer of pollen from one flower to another flower of the same plant. This is a specific type of self-pollination known as **Autogamy**. However, the term that fits the description given in the question is **Zetanogamy** (which seems to be a typographical error for "Autogamy" or "Jiternogamy"). - The correct term for the transfer of pollen from one flower to another flower of the same plant is **Jiternogamy**. 4. **Final Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **Zetanogamy** (assuming it refers to Jiternogamy).
