Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Self-pollination is a phenomenon, in which pollen from a flower lands on the stigma of the same flower, e.g. wheat varieties. In self-pollinated crops, the amount of cross-pollination is less than 5%. As a result of self-pollination, homozygosity is increased and purelines are developed.
