Yes. A plant that has both female and male reproductive parts, and many angiosperms do, can self fertilize and reproduce that way. Still, the reproductive parts are not aligned properly for this to be the preferred method of fertilization.

How can there not be self-fertilization of flowers?
There are plants that are self-fertile among them some fruit trees.
What is the disadvantage of self-fertilization of flowers?
A limit to the possibilities for diversity is the disadvantage of self fertilization of flowers. Self fertilization draws upon the particular flower's gene base and nothing else or more. It's with other forms of fertilization such as cross and manual pollination whereby other characteristics such as color and disease resistance may be introduced.
Why does remove the stamens from the immature flowers of the plant is using as a female?
To avoid self pollination & fertilization
What is the advantage of cross-fertilization versus self-fertilization?
Preventing self-fertilization- flowers have a number of adaptations to limit self fertilization. Some flowers are self-incompatible, meaning that the female part, Carpel, will not accept its own pollen. Other flowers are dioecious , having separate male and female individuals, which makes self fertilization impossible. Some are monoecious, having separate female and male flowers on the same plant and their male and female flowers will mature at different times. Some flowers will make their stigma receptive to pollen only after all of its pollen has been shed. Some flowers keep their stamens and pistil at a distance from each other, for instance the pistil may be vary tall and the stamens may be short, making it harder for the flower to pollinate itself.
Are flowers seedless?
Flowers makes seeds after fertilization.
Through which process do flowers reproduce?
fertilization
Which life process is important to flowers?
Pollination and Fertilization
Can flowers reproduce without stigma?
Yes flowers can reproduce with out stigma. To overcum self -iincompatibility in many Brassicas, the stigma is cliped away at the flower bud stage. the process of intra-ovarion fertilization also does not require the presence of stigma.
How would a plant reproduce by self fertilization?
well by pollens truth/ When both male & female gametes are compatible to mate, self-pollination results in self fertilization.
What turns into fruit after fertilization?
Flowers.... Fruiting trees and bushes produce flowers - the flowers are pollinated by insects - and the fertilised flowers turn into buds, from which the fruit grows.
Why do plant species need to promote cross fertilization rather self fertilization?
Becuase when they self fertilize they cannot get the proper amount of sunlight, but when they dont self fertilize they can get the proper amount of sunlight
Why do plant species need to promote cross-fertilization rather than self-fertilizationWhy do plant species need to promote cross-fertilization rather than self-fertilization?
Cross fertilization leads to genetic variability which helps in the process of better adaptability and evolution
