Plant species pollinated by water fall into two categories:
(i) | Those that distribute their pollen to the surface of water |
(ii) | Those that distribute their pollen beneath the surface of water |
The correct examples of the two categories will be:
(i) | (ii) | |
1. |
Vallisneria |
Sea grasses |
2. |
Water hyacinth |
Sea grasses |
3. |
Sea grasses |
Water lily |
4. |
Sea grasses |
Vallisneria |
Statement I: | In a normal flower which opens and exposes the anthers and the stigma, complete autogamy is rather rare. |
Statement II: | Self-pollination can lead to inbreeding depression due to expression of deleterious recessive mutations. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
2. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
3. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
Assertion (A): | Cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous. |
Reason (R): | There is no chance of cross-pollen landing on the stigma in cleistogamous flowers. |
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 |
I: | is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant. |
II: | is genetically cross-pollination involving a pollinating agent |
III: | functionally is similar to autogamy |
1. | Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason explains Assertion |
2. | Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason does not explain Assertion |
3. | Assertion is true but Reason is false |
4. | Assertion is false but Reason is true |
Assertion(A): | Majority of flowering plants produce unisexual flowers. |
Reason (R): | In unisexual flowers, pollen grains are likely to come in contact with the stigma of the same flower. |
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. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion(A): | Chasmogamous flowers are invariably autogamous |
Reason (R): | All chasmogamous flowers are unisexual. |
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. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion(A): | Wind and water pollinated flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination. |
Reason (R): | Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar. |
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. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
I: | Cleistogamous flowers never exhibit autogamy |
II: | Chasmogamous flowers always exhibit geitonogamy |
