Question

Identify the process X and Y in the figure given below.

a) X-cross pollination , Y-self pollination
b) X-self pollination, Y- cross pollination
c) X-Dispersal, Y-Fertilization
d) X-Germination, Y-Dispersal

Answer 1

Answer:

a) X- cross Pollination , Y-self pollination

Explanation:

It is clearly visible in the diagram that the in the option 'X' the pollen will come from another parent and land on the stigma of another parent. Hence when the pollen comes from another parent it is referred to as cross pollination.

for the option 'Y' it can be seen that the pollen is coming from the same parent and hence this type of pollination is referred to as Self-pollination.

Answer 2

The process X and Y in the figure given below is Option(a)X-cross pollination , Y-self pollination.

Explanation:

• In self-pollination pollen is transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower or stigma of another flower borne on the same plant.
• The transfer of pollen from anther of a flower to stigma of another flower bome on another plant of the same species is called cross pollination
