The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Contrivance for self-pollination is", we need to analyze the options provided: clistogamy, bisexuality, homogamy, and all the above. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Self-Pollination**: - Self-pollination is the process where pollen from the male part of a flower fertilizes the female part of the same flower or another flower on the same plant. This is in contrast to cross-pollination, where pollen is transferred between different plants. 2. **Identifying the Contrivances**: - **Clistogamy**: This refers to a type of flower that does not open and thus ensures self-pollination. These flowers are typically closed and only allow for self-pollination. - **Bisexuality**: This means that the flower contains both male (stamens) and female (pistils) reproductive organs. This allows for self-fertilization as both gametes are present in the same flower. - **Homogamy**: This refers to the condition where the male and female reproductive organs mature at the same time, facilitating self-pollination. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - All three terms—clistogamy, bisexuality, and homogamy—describe mechanisms or adaptations that promote self-pollination. - Therefore, the correct answer must include all these mechanisms. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since all the mentioned options contribute to the process of self-pollination, the correct answer is **all the above**. ### Final Answer: The contrivance for self-pollination is **all the above** (clistogamy, bisexuality, homogamy).
