Both 1 and 2

d)

None of these

2.

Which type of pollination is examplified in the video?(Hint:Name the type of pollination on the basis of the pollinating agent)

a)

Entmophilous

b)

Ornithophilous

c)

Anemophilous

d)

3.

Which type of outbreeding devices prevents both autogamy as well as geitonogamy?

a)

Monoecy

b)

Dioecy

c)

Heterostyly

d)

Self Incompatibility

4.

Geitonogamy is genetically similar to self-pollination but functionally similar to crosss-pollination because

a)

Geitonogamy involves flowers of the same plant so it is similar to self-pollination and it also requires pollinating agent so it is similar to cross-pollination.

b)

Geitonogamy involves two different flowers of the same plant and does not result in genetic variation in the progeny.

c)

Both 1 and 2.

d)

None of the above

5.

Mechanisms that ensure self-pollination include:

a)

Chasmogamy

b)

Cleistogamy

c)

Both 1 and 2

d)

None of the above

6.

In self-incompatible species:

a)

Self-pollination does not lead to seed formation.

b)

Pollen grains of a flower do not germinate on the stigma of the same flower.
