Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Self-Pollination**: Self-pollination occurs when pollen from the same flower fertilizes its ovules. This can happen in plants that are hermaphroditic (having both male and female reproductive organs). 2. **Identifying the Consequences of Continued Self-Pollination**: When self-pollination continues over several generations, it leads to the mating of closely related individuals. This is known as inbreeding. 3. **Defining Inbreeding Depression**: Inbreeding depression refers to the reduced biological fitness of a population due to inbreeding. This can manifest as decreased vigor, fertility, and overall health of the offspring. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Formation of Unisexual Flowers**: This is incorrect as self-pollination does not lead to the formation of unisexual flowers. - **Gametes Losing Vigor**: This is also incorrect; gametes do not inherently lose vigor due to self-pollination. - **Self-Incompatibility**: This is not a direct result of self-pollination; rather, it refers to a mechanism that prevents self-fertilization in some plants. - **Inbreeding Depression**: This is the correct answer, as continued self-pollination leads to inbreeding, which results in inbreeding depression. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question "Continued self-pollination results in?" is **inbreeding depression**. ---
