Solution and Explanation
Characteristic feature:
Chasmogamous flowers: Open flowers, reproductive parts exposed.
Cleistogamous flowers: Closed flowers, reproductive parts not exposed.
Modes of pollination:
Chasmogamous flowers: Crosspollination facilitated by agents like wind, insects, or water.
Cleistogamous flowers: Selfpollination occurs as flowers never open.

Top Questions on Pollination
Many of the flowering plants producing hermaphrodite flowers have developed many devices to discourage self-pollination and to encourage cross-pollination. Given below is a picture of one such outbreeding device in a flowering plant. Study the picture and answer the questions that follow:
(a) Explain how the given type of pollination is advantageous to the plant.(b) Can this flowering plant show geitonogamy? Justify your answer.
