Allogamy is favoured by
-
Homogamy
-
Cleistogamy
-
Monocliny
-
Dicliny
Which one of the following is not a device to promote cross-pollination?
-
Herkogamy
-
Dichogamy
-
Cleistogamy
-
Heterostyle
Cleistogamy is not a device to promote cross-pollination as the flowers remain closed and they promote self-pollination. For example, Balsam, Oxalis and Viola anthers dehisce inside closed flowers.
The pollen of apple germinates easily on the stigma than the pollen of another flower. This tendency is known as
-
Prepotency
-
Self sterility
-
Dichogamy
-
All of the above
In some plants when the stigma receives pollen from the same flower as well as from the other flower simultaneously, the foreign pollen germinates vigorously and fertilize the ovule.
Which of the following plants shows the tendency of prepotency?
-
Guava
-
Apple
-
Grapes
-
Both B and C
Prepotency is the phenomenon in which Pollen grains of another flower of the same species germinate more rapidly over the stigma, in comparison to the pollen grains of the same flower. For example Apple, Grape, etc.
So the correct answer is D.
Faster and better growth of pollen from other plants than the pollen from the same plant is?
-
Self incompatibility
-
Dichogamy
-
Monocliny
-
Prepotency
Self-incompatibility is the widespread mechanism in flowering plants which prevents the inbreeding and promotes the outcrossing. Dichogamy is the mechanism when the stigma and anther mature at different times. Monocliny i.e. Bisexuality is applicable for bisexual flowers. Pollen prepotency is the mechanism when the pollen of a different flower germinates faster than of the same flower thus preventing autogamy.
Thus, the correct option is D.
Barrier to avoid self pollination between stamens and pistils is
-
Heterostyly
-
Herkogamy
-
Dichogamy
-
Dicliny
-
Calotropis
-
Cucurbita
-
Crotalaria
-
Pisum
Nontransfer of pollen from anther to stigma of the same flower due to a mechanical barrier is
-
Dichogamy
-
Herkogamy
-
Heterostyly
-
Cleistogamy
Dichogamy- It is the condition when the anther and stigma mature at different times. Either anthers dehisce before the stigma becomes receptive (called protandry) or stigma becomes receptive before anthers dehisce (called protogyny).
Which is not a correct explanation of cross pollination?
-
Pollen grains of male flowers are transferred to stigma of female flowers
-
Pollen grains are transferred from one flower to another flower of another plant of the same species
-
Pollen grains are transferred from one flower to another flower situated on the same species
-
Pollen grains of one flower are transferred to the stigma of the same flower
In Kigellia pinnate/ Sausage Tree, pollination is performed by.
