Assertion : To compensate the uncertainties and associated loss of pollen grains during pollination by abiotic agents, the flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination. Reason : Pollen grains coming in contact with the stigma is a chance factor in both wind and water pollination.

Assertion Pollent kit sticks to the body of insects during pollination. Reason Pollen kits are more common in anemophilous flowers.

[A] : Anemophillous plants have to produce enormous quantities of pollen. [R] : Because during the transit of pollen through a wind, a considerable amount of pollen is lost.

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

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

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.
