The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Geitonogamy involves", we need to analyze the options provided and determine which one accurately describes the process of geitonogamy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Geitonogamy**: - Geitonogamy is a form of pollination where pollen from one flower fertilizes another flower on the same plant. It is a type of cross-pollination. 2. **Reviewing the Options**: - **Option A**: Fertilization of a flower by the pollen from a flower of another plant belonging to a distant population. - **Option B**: Fertilization of a flower by the pollen from another flower of the same plant. - **Option C**: Fertilization of a flower by the pollen from the same flower. - **Option D**: Fertilization of a flower by the pollen from a flower of another plant in the same population. 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option A**: This describes xenogamy (cross-pollination between different plants) and does not fit geitonogamy. - **Option B**: This is the correct definition of geitonogamy, as it involves pollen from one flower fertilizing another flower on the same plant. - **Option C**: This describes autogamy (self-pollination) and is not related to geitonogamy. - **Option D**: This also describes a form of cross-pollination but does not fit the definition of geitonogamy, as it involves different plants. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option B**: Fertilization of a flower by the pollen from another flower of the same plant. ### Final Answer: Geitonogamy involves the fertilization of a flower by the pollen from another flower of the same plant. ---
