Assertion (A): | Flowering plants have evolved adaptations to promote cross pollination. |
Reason (R): | Most angiosperms are dioeceous plants. |
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 |
Statement I: | The pollen can recognize the pistil, whether it is of the right type (compatible) or of the wrong type (incompatible). |
Statement II: | Pollen of the same species will not be compatible and will not be allowed to germinate on the stigma. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
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 |
A: | Self-incompatibility allows only self-pollen to fertilise ovules. |
B: | Dioecy prevents autogamy but not geitonogamy. |
1. | Only A is correct |
2. | Only B is correct |
3. | Both A and B are correct |
4. | Both A and B are incorrect |
Assertion (A): | In xenogamy, pollen is transferred from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another plant of a different species. |
Reason (R): | Xenogamy results in genetic variation as it involves the fusion of gametes from different individuals. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
