    Solution

    Dichogamy refers to the condition in which stamens and pistils of hermaphrodite flowers mature at different times, promoting cross-pollination. Protogyny and protandry are specific types of dichogamy where either pistils or stamens mature first, respectively. Homogamy refers to the maturation of anthers and stigma at the same time.
