Explanation

Dichogamy is the temporal separation of sexual maturity in bisexual flowers where stamens and carpels mature at different times, promoting cross-pollination and reducing self-pollination. Self sterility is inability to self-fertilize, dicliny is unisexual flowers, and heteromorphic refers to different forms.
