| Assertion (A): | The flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination. |
| Reason (R): | Pollens are products of meiosis resulting in larger number of cells but egg is the product of mitosis resulting in fewer number of cells. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not explain (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| Statement I: | Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar. |
| Statement II: | Majority of insect-pollinated flowers are large, colourful, fragrant and rich in nectar. |

| Assertion (A): | Cleistogamous flowers produce assured seed-set even in the absence of pollinators. |
| Reason (R): | Cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous. |

| Assertion (A): | Geitonogamy does not provide the same advantages as cross-pollination. |
| Reason (R): | Geitonogamy is a type of pollination in plants where pollen is transferred from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower on the same plant. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
Whether a pollen grain will be able to germinate on a stigma is primarily decided by:
| 1. | The stage at which the pollen is shed |
| 2. | Recognition by the stigma |
| 3. | Maturity of the egg cell in the embryosac |
| 4. | Environmental conditions |
