Question
Autogamy is genetically similar to which other form of pollination, and why?
Explanation
Autogamy is self-pollination within the same flower. Geitonogamy is pollination between different flowers of the *same* plant. Genetically, both are forms of self-pollination because the pollen comes from the same genetic individual (genet), even if Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination requiring an agent.
