The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the emasculation of a female plant with bisexual flowers in a hybridization program, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Emasculation**: Emasculation is the process of removing the male reproductive parts (anthers) from a flower to prevent self-pollination. This is crucial in hybridization programs where controlled cross-pollination is desired. 2. **Identifying the Flower Type**: The question specifies that the plant has bisexual flowers, meaning it contains both male (anthers) and female (pistil) reproductive structures. 3. **Purpose of Emasculation**: The goal of emasculation is to ensure that the female plant does not produce seeds from its own pollen, allowing for the introduction of pollen from another plant. 4. **Timing of Anther Removal**: The removal of anthers must occur before they dehisce (burst open) to release pollen. If the anthers are removed after dehiscence, the pollen would already be released, defeating the purpose of emasculation. 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Style before dehiscence of anthers**: Incorrect, as emasculation involves removing anthers, not styles. - **(b) Style after dehiscence of anthers**: Incorrect for the same reason as (a). - **(c) Anthers before their dehiscence**: Correct, as this is the proper method of emasculation. - **(d) Anthers after their dehiscence**: Incorrect, as this would allow for self-pollination. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is (c) Anthers before their dehiscence. ### Final Answer: (c) Anthers before their dehiscence
