(a) Geitonogamy : This is transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.

Xenogamy : (a) This is transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant.
(iii) Here, genetically different pollen grains are brought to the stigma.
(b) Oviparous organisms : (i) Development of zygote takes place outside the body in the form of fertilised egg covered by a hard calcareous shell which after incubation brings forth the young ones.
(ii) Chances of survival of young one are less in oviparous organisms e.g : reptiles and birds.
Viviparous organisms : (i) Development of zygote takes place inside the body of a female organism and are delivered outside the body of the female orgamsin after reaching a certain stage of growth.
2. Chances of survival of young ones are more in viviparous organisms e.e : mammals.
Parthenogenesis The female gamete undergoes development to form new organisms without fertilization.
e.g : Rotifers and birds like (turkey).
Parthenocarpy : This is development of friut without the process of fertilization.
