Assertion, Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination involving pollinating agent and genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the another plant. Reason: Geitonogamy is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

Geitonogamy is functionally similar to cross pollination and genetically similar to autogamy. Justify.
