The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of pollination that occurs in self-incompatible plants, we need to analyze the options provided and understand the definitions of each type of pollination. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Self-Incompatibility**: - Self-incompatible plants are those that cannot fertilize themselves. This means that the pollen from the same plant cannot successfully fertilize its own ovules. 2. **Identifying Pollination Types**: - The question provides four options: - A) Autogamy - B) Xenogamy - C) GT-nogamy - D) Allogamy 3. **Defining Each Option**: - **Autogamy**: This is self-pollination where pollen from the same flower fertilizes its own ovules. This does not occur in self-incompatible plants. - **Xenogamy**: This refers to cross-pollination where pollen is transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another plant. This is common in self-incompatible plants. - **GT-nogamy**: This term is not commonly used in the context of pollination and may be a typographical error or a less recognized term. - **Allogamy**: This is also a term for cross-pollination, similar to xenogamy, but it is less specific about the genetic differences between the plants. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since self-incompatible plants require pollen from a different plant to achieve fertilization, the correct type of pollination that occurs in these plants is **Xenogamy** (Option B). ### Final Answer: The type of pollination that takes place in self-incompatible plants is called **Xenogamy**.
