The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Device for self-pollination is:", we need to analyze the provided options and determine which one, if any, supports self-pollination. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollination**: - Pollination is the process where pollen grains are transferred from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of a flower. It can occur in two ways: self-pollination and cross-pollination. - **Self-pollination** occurs when pollen from the same flower fertilizes its own stigma. - **Cross-pollination** occurs when pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Heterostyly**: This refers to a condition where flowers have styles of different lengths. This condition usually promotes cross-pollination as it encourages pollen transfer between flowers of different heights. - **Option B: Dichogamy**: This term refers to the maturation of male and female reproductive organs at different times. It also promotes cross-pollination by preventing self-fertilization. - **Option C: Unisexuality**: This means that a flower has either male or female reproductive parts, not both. This condition also does not support self-pollination as it requires another flower for fertilization. - **Option D: None of the above**: This option suggests that none of the previous conditions support self-pollination. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since heterostyly, dichogamy, and unisexuality do not facilitate self-pollination, the correct answer is **D: None of the above**. ### Final Answer: The device for self-pollination is **D: None of the above**.
