Answer:

This is the pollination of flower by pollen grains from the same flower on the same plant.

Explanation: OR:

This is also when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower or at the OVULE.

Many plants that can be self pollinating can also be cross pollinating.

Examples of self pollinating plants are: wheat, tomatoes, barley, e.t.c.

This is also the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or the flower of the plant with the same clone.

Hope all these helps.

Answer:

When pollen from the pollen part of the flower (the anther) gets its way into the germination part (the stigma) of the SAME plant.

It's kinda weird because many plants have both "male" and "female" seexy bits on the same flower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Self-pollination is when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperm-style plants).

There are two types of self-pollination: in autogamy, pollen is transferred to the stigma of the same flower; in geitonogamy, pollen is transferred from the pollen part (anther) of one flower to the germination part (stigma/ovule) of another flower on the same flowering plant.
