Dispersal of seed in Opium or Poppy/Argemone occurs by

  1. Explosive mechanism

  2. Parachute mechanism

  3. Censer mechanism

  4. jaculator mechanism


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Dispersal of seeds in poppy occurs by censer mechanism. In this mechanism, the seeds are scattered after dehiscence of fruit occur when it is shaken by the wind. 

The seeds of poppy are dispersed by

  1. Wind

  2. Animals

  3. Water

  4. Explosion mechanism


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In pollination, pollinators play a major role and different plants adopt different methods to pollinate themselves.

  1. By wind also called anemophily and is used by around 19% of plants. Ex poppy and palm.
  2. By animals also called zoophily in which various animals mainly insects help in pollination and get a reward for this. Majority of plant use this method around 80%.ex Sunflower (by bees), potato (by bumblebees).
  3. By water also called as hydrophily and is not used as much only 0.4 % of plant favored it. Ex Vallisneria.
  4. Explosion mechanism occurs when the triggering agent come in contact and is a violent explosion in which either only anther or both anther and stigma burst to release pollen. Ex Lamiaceae family.
So the correct option is "Wind".
