The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of pollination that occurs between flowers borne on two different plants of the same species, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollination**: - Pollination is the process of transferring pollen grains from the male part (anther) of a flower to the female part (stigma) of the same or another flower. 2. **Identify Types of Pollination**: - There are three main types of pollination: - **Autogamy**: Pollination occurs within the same flower. - **Gaitonogamy**: Pollination occurs between different flowers on the same plant. - **Xenogamy**: Pollination occurs between flowers on different plants of the same species. 3. **Analyze the Question**: - The question specifically asks about pollination between flowers on two different plants of the same species. 4. **Determine the Correct Type**: - Since the question refers to two different plants, the type of pollination that fits this description is **Xenogamy**. 5. **Eliminate Incorrect Options**: - **Gytonogamy**: Incorrect, as it refers to pollination between different flowers on the same plant. - **Clistogamy**: Incorrect, as it refers to self-pollination within a closed flower. - **Hercogamy**: Incorrect, as it refers to a mechanism that promotes cross-pollination but does not define a type of pollination itself. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Xenogamy**. ### Final Answer: - **Xenogamy** is the type of pollination that occurs between flowers borne on two different plants of the same species. ---
