Question

Select which of the following is the feature of cross pollination - (a) Occurs within the same flower of the same plant (b) Agents are not required (c) Lesser chance of new characters being transmitted (d) More wastage of pollen grains.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option d

Explanation:

Cross Pollinated Flowers have to produce a large quantity of pollen to attract insects for pollination which results in more pollen wastage

Answer 2

Answer will be option D

Explanation:

• Cross pollination occur between two different flowers where self pollination take place within same flower
• for cross pollination an carrier or agent is required that carry the pollen from one to another flower. as self pollination occur within same plant no agent required.
• when pollen of one flower is transmitted to a different  flower chance of recombination of two different characters will be higher. As self pollination occur within same flower no chance of recombination among different characters.
• as cross pollination occur between two different flower and as it is performed by carrier ,more wastage of pollen grains take place. where self pollination occur within same flower, very less wastage of pollen grains take place.
