Question
Chapter 11.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether self-pollination is considered asexual or sexual reproduction
Introduction:
Reproduction is the process of producing the young ones from the existing one; it enables a species to survive within an environment. There are mainly two modes through which an organism can reproduce; sexual and asexual mode.

EXPERIMENT 4: INDUCTION OF CALLUS SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS OF HAPLOID PLANTS
From the observation, which has given in the image section what general conclusion you can make?
The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
