Answer:
Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism to prevent self pollen from fertilizing the ovules by inhibiting pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil.
Self-pollination does not lead to seed formation in self-incompatible species because of interaction between the chemicals of the pollen and those of the stigma.
