Vedclass · Answer

(A) Cleistogamous flowers are flowers that do not open at all. Because the flowers remain closed,the anthers and stigma lie very close to each other. When the anthers dehisce in the closed flower,pollen grains come in contact with the stigma of the same flower,resulting in autogamy. Since there is no chance of cross-pollination,cleistogamous flowers produce assured seed-set even in the absence of pollinators.
