Allocarpy
Definition
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.
