    This document defines various biology terms related to pollination, including self-pollination within the same flower or plant, cross-pollination between plants of the same species, bisexual flowers containing both male and female parts, and mechanisms like dichogamy and herkogamy that prevent self-pollination. It also describes different types of pollinators like insects, wind, water, birds, and elephants as well as processes like emasculation.

    Biology Terms

    Pollination
    Autogamy- self-pollination (same flower)
    Geitonogamy- self-pollination (same plant, different flower)
    Allogamy- cross pollination (same species)
    Bisexual/hermaphrodite flower- both male and female parts
    Homogamy- anther and stigma of a flower must mature at the same time.
    Unisexuality- Flowers may be either male of female
    Dichogamy- Different timings of maturation of androecium and gynoecium
    ~ Protandry- anther mature before stigma
    ~ Protogyny- stigma mature before anther
    Self-sterility- when pollination fails after the stigma receives pollen from same
    flower. Only the pollen of another flower can complete the process.
    Herkogamy- barrier that prevents a flower from self-pollination
    Heterostyly- stigma and anther grow on different heights
    Entomophilous- Insect pollinated
    Anemophilous- Wind pollinated
    Hydrophilous- Water pollinated
    Ornithophily- Bird Pollination Elephophily- Elephant Pollination
    Emasculation- removing anthers from young flowers
