#cross pollination
- Allelogamy — A biological phenomenon or mode of reproduction found in plants, consisting of cross-pollination between different individuals belonging to the same species; reciprocal fertilization. Structurally, allelogamy ensures the maintenance of heterozygosity and genetic recombination, being a crucial evolutionary mechanism that enhances the viability and adaptability of offspring compared to self-pollination.
- Allocarpy — The formation of fruits as a result of cross-pollination (allogamy), a structural biological process through which a flower's ovule is fertilized by pollen coming from a different flower of the same species. This phenomenon guarantees high genetic diversity and increased viability of the resulting seeds.
