Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Geitonogamy refers to the transfer of pollen between flowers of the same plant.
While it appears similar to cross-pollination, it is genetically equivalent to self-pollination since the genetic material originates from the same plant.
While it appears similar to cross-pollination, it is genetically equivalent to self-pollination since the genetic material originates from the same plant.
