Read the given paragraph.
Pollination processes P, Q or R are requisite for accomplishment of sexual reproduction in plants. P does not require any external agent but Q and R do. P and help in producing purelines whereas R gives rise to offspring showing variations among themselves. Identify processes P, Q and R and select the correct option regarding these.

A

Process P is possible in both unisexual and bisexual flowers.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the processes of pollination P, Q, and R, we will analyze the information provided in the paragraph step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollination**: - Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains to the stigma of a flower, which is essential for fertilization in plants. 2. **Identifying Process P**: - The paragraph states that process P does not require any external agent. This indicates that it is a form of pollination that occurs within the same flower. - **Conclusion**: Process P is **Self-pollination**. 3. **Identifying Processes Q and R**: - Both Q and R require external agents for pollination. The paragraph mentions that Q involves two flowers of the same plant, while R involves flowers from different plants. - **Conclusion**: - Process Q is **Cross-pollination within the same plant**. - Process R is **Cross-pollination between different plants**. 4. **Understanding the Outcomes**: - Process P (self-pollination) produces pure lines, meaning the offspring are genetically similar to the parent plant. - Process R (cross-pollination) results in offspring that show variations among themselves, indicating genetic diversity. 5. **Final Identification**: - P = Self-pollination - Q = Cross-pollination (same plant) - R = Cross-pollination (different plants)

To solve the question regarding the processes of pollination P, Q, and R, we will analyze the information provided in the paragraph step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollination**: - Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains to the stigma of a flower, which is essential for fertilization in plants. 2. **Identifying Process P**: ...
