Assertion :- Geitonogamy is functionaly cross pollination and genetically self pollination. Reason :- It involves pollinating agent but pollen grains come from same plant

A: continued self pollination checks inbreeding depression R: pollen release and stigma receptivity are synchornised

Assertion :- Development of pollen grains begins only after pollination. Reason : Development of pollen grain takes place only on stigma

Which of the following is an outbreeding device ? a. If pollen release and stigma receptivity are not synchronised. b. If the anther and stigma are placed at different positions so that pollen cannot come in contact with the stigma of the same flower. c. Self-incompatibilty which prevents self-pollen (from the same plant) from fertilising the ovules by inhibiting pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil. d. Production of the unisexual flower

Assertion : Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination involving pollinating agent and genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the another plant. Reason : Geitonogamy is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

Assertion : Stigma of pistil receives the pollen during pollination . Reason : Pollen grains are produced in ovary of gynoecium .

Assertion : Wind pollination requires that the pollen grains are light and non-sticky. Reason : Light pollen grains can be transported easily in wind currents.

Given below are five statements (i-v) regarding constrivances to ensure cross - pollination is plants (i) Dicliny - Anthers stigmas mature at different times in a bisexual flower. (ii) Dichogamy - Flowers are unisexual. (iii) Prepotency - Pollen grains of the same flower germinate more rapidly over the stigma than the pollen grains another flower. (iv) Heterostyly - Two or three types of flowers with different heights of styles. (v) Herkogamy - A mechanical device to prevent self - pollination which of the above statement are correct ?

Assertion : Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism which prevents self-pollination and thereby fertilisation by inhibiting either pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil. Reason : In gametophytic self-incompatibility, the incompatibility reaction is determined by the genotype of the sporophytic tissue of the plant from which the pollen is derived.
