The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct, let's analyze each statement one by one: 1. **Statement 1**: "The pollen germination and pollen tube growth are regulated by chemical components of pollen interacting with those of the pistil." - This statement is correct. The interaction between the chemical components of pollen and the pistil is essential for pollen germination and the growth of the pollen tube. 2. **Statement 2**: "Some reptiles have also been reported as pollinators in some plant species." - This statement is also correct. Certain reptiles, such as some species of lizards, have been observed to act as pollinators for specific plants. 3. **Statement 3**: "The pollen grains of many species can germinate on the stigma of a plant, but only one pollen tube of the same species grows into this type." - This statement is incorrect. While pollen grains from many species can land on a stigma, they cannot germinate unless they are from the same species as the flower. Only pollen grains from the same species can germinate and grow a pollen tube into the ovary. 4. **Statement 4**: "The insects that consume pollen or nectar without bringing about pollination are called pollen or nectar robbers." - This statement is correct. Insects that take nectar or pollen without aiding in the pollination process are indeed referred to as robbers. Based on this analysis, the incorrect statement is **Statement 3**. ### Summary of the Solution: - Statement 1: Correct - Statement 2: Correct - Statement 3: Incorrect (pollen grains must be from the same species to germinate) - Statement 4: Correct ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct is **Statement 3**. ---
