The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is correct regarding the types of pollination and flower characteristics, let's analyze the statements one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Jetonogamy:** - Jetonogamy refers to the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or plant. - The statement that jetonogamy involves pollen and stigma from different plants is incorrect. This characteristic belongs to xenogamy, where pollen is transferred between different plants. **Hint:** Jetonogamy = same plant; Xenogamy = different plants. 2. **Understanding Clistogamous Flowers:** - Clistogamous flowers are those that remain closed even at maturity and primarily exhibit self-pollination (autogamy). - Since they do not open, cross-pollination cannot occur in clistogamous flowers. **Hint:** Clistogamous flowers = always closed, self-pollinating. 3. **Understanding Xenogamy:** - Xenogamy involves the transfer of pollen from one plant to another, which can occur through various agents, including wind, insects, or animals. - The statement that xenogamy occurs only by wind is incorrect, as it can involve multiple pollination agents. **Hint:** Xenogamy = different plants + multiple pollination agents. 4. **Understanding Chasmogamous Flowers:** - Chasmogamous flowers are characterized by their ability to open, allowing for both self-pollination and cross-pollination. - The statement that chasmogamous flowers do not open is incorrect; this is a characteristic of clistogamous flowers. **Hint:** Chasmogamous flowers = open flowers; Clistogamous flowers = closed flowers. ### Conclusion: The correct statement among the options is that clistogamous flowers are almost autogamous, as they remain closed and primarily self-pollinate. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: "The clistogamous flowers are almost autogamous."
