In a bisexual flower if androcium and gynoecium mature at different time the phenomeon is known as _________

  • A.Dichogamy
  • B.Herkogamy
  • C.Heterogamy
  • D.None of these

Answer: A

When the androecium and gynoecium of a bisexual flower mature at different times, the condition is dichogamy.

It prevents self-pollination and so promotes outbreeding. Where the anthers mature first it is protandry; where the stigma does, protogyny. Herkogamy achieves the same end by physical separation instead.
