Answer:

Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant. Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because no mixing of male and female gametes takes place.

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 gymnosperms). 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 anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same flowering plant, or from microsporangium to ovule within a single (monoecious) gymnosperm. Some plants have mechanisms that ensure autogamy, such as flowers that do not open (cleistogamy), or stamens that move to come into contact with the stigma. The term selfing that is often used as a synonym, is not limited to self-pollination, but also applies to other types of self-fertilization.

Which of these scientists is best known for his idea that characteristics an individual gains in its lifetime could be passed on
Anna [14]
This was Lamarck's idea. Here's an example: Suppose giraffes originally had short necks that they stretched to reach high-up leaves in the trees. This continuous stretching of the neck was passed onto offspring, who as a result had slightly longer necks. This continued for multiple generations until we get today's long-necked giraffe. Lamarck was on to something (that something being evolution by natural selection, which Darwin discovered), but his theory wasn't completely correct since organisms can only pass on genes (segments of DNA that code for a characteristic or function) to their offspring. Since "stretching" would not code into DNA, it wouldn't be passed onto offspring, proving Lamarck's theory incorrect.
