Geitonogamy involves:
| 1. | Pollination of a flower by the pollen from another flower of the same plant. |
| 2. | Pollination of a flower by the pollen from another same flower. |
| 3. | Pollination of a flower by the pollen from a flower of another plant in the same population. |
| 4. | Pollination of a flower by the pollen from a flower of another plant belonging to a distant population. |

| 1. | Lack of synchronization between pollen release and stigma receptivity. |
| 2. | Anther and Stigma placed at different levels. |
| 3. | Self-incompatibility. |
| 4. | Production of bisexual flowers. |
Dioecy in flowering plants prevents:
| 1. | Autogamy but not Geitonogamy |
| 2. | Geitonogamy but not Autogamy |
| 3. | Both Geitonogamy and Autogamy |
| 4. | Neither Geitonogamy nor Autogamy |
A particular species of the plant produces light, non-sticky pollen in large numbers and its stigmas are long and feathery. These
modifications facilitate pollination by:

In angiosperms:
1. Pollen grains are motile but the egg cell is non-motile.
2. Pollen grains are non-motile but the egg cell is motile.
3. Both pollen grain and egg cell are non-motile.
4. Both pollen grain and egg cell are motile.
