When anthers and stigma of a given flower mature at different points of time, it is a case of

A

Geitonogamy

B

Dichogamy

C

Cleistogamy

D

Herkogamy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In some species, pollen release and stigma receptivity are not synchronised. Either the pollen is released be fore the stigma becomes receptive or stigma becomes receptive much before the release of pollen. This condition is called dichogamy in which stigma and anther matures at different time.

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-incompatibility 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

In the Figure, time and distance graph of a linear motion is given. Two positions of time and distance are recorded as, when T=0, D=2 . and when T=3, D=8 . Using the concept of slope, find law of motion, i.e., how distance depends upon time.

When the pollen is transferred from anther to the stigma of same flower, the pollination is called autogamy. Geitonogamy is functionally cross pollination, but genetically similar to autogamy. Justify the statement.

Transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower is called pollination. Grass plants generally have small , inconspicuous flowers while plants belonging to many angiosperm bear conspicuous coloured flowers. What are the salient features present in these two groups for effective pollination?

When the pollen is transferred from anther to the stigma of the same flower, the pollination is called autogamy. Cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous. Explain.
