NEETBotanySexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Among the animals, insects, particularly bees are the dominant abiotic pollinating agents 2. Majority of insect-pollinated flowers are very colourful and do produce nectar 3. There is no genetic variation seen in the flowers which are pollinated from Autogamy 4. Plants use one abiotic and two biotic agents to achieve pollination
Options
- ABoth 1 and 2 are correct
- BBoth 2 and 3 are incorrect
- CAll are incorrect
- DOnly 3 is correct
Correct answer
D. Only 3 is correct
Step-by-step solution
Bees, butterflies, flies, beetles, wasps, ants, moths, birds and bats are the common pollinating agents. Among the animals, insects, particularly bees are the dominant biotic pollinating agents. Majority of insect-pollinated flowers are large, colourful, fragrant and rich in nectar,In Xenogamy, transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma of a different plant. Genetic variation seen in the flowers which are pollinated from Xenogamy. Plants use two abiotic ( wind and water) and one biotic (animals) agents to achi
