Which of the following features is/are common to both wind and water pollinated flowers? I. Pollen grains are long and ribbon-like II. Stigma is large and feathery III. Flowers are not colourful IV. Flowers do not produce nectar

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statements. a. In majority of organisms, male gamete is motile and female gamete is non-motile (stationary). b. In algae and fungi, both male and female gametes are non-motile. c. In seed plants, pollen grains are the carrier of male gametes and ovule has the egg. d. In dioecious plants, pollination facilitates transfer of pollen grains to the stigma. e. In monoecious animals, since male and female gametes are formed in different individuals, the or ganism must evolve special mechanism for gamete transfer.

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.

+2 Students of a school at Kasaragod distric on their study tour collected flowers showing the following character: Flowers are with light pollen grains. Colourful flowers. Nector producing flowers. Flowers with feathery stigma. Write the name of 2 flowers pollinating through water.

Read the following statements carefully and select the appropriate option given below. (i) It is possible to store pollen grains of a large number of species for years in liquid nitrogen (-196^(@)) . (ii) Cells of the nucellus have abundant reserve food materials. (iii) In a normal flower which opens and exposes the anthers and the stigma, complete autogamy is common. (iv) If both male and female flowers are present on the same plant, it prevents both autogamy and geitonogamy. (v) Cultivation of hybrids has tremendously increased productivity.

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