Given below are two statements: Statement I: Wind pollination requires that the pollen grains are light and sticky so that they can be transported in wind currents. Statement II: The tassels seen in a corn cob are nothing but the stigma and style which wave in the wind to trap pollen grains. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer
B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is incorrect because wind pollination requires pollen grains to be light and non-sticky, rather than sticky, so that they can be easily transported by wind currents. Statement II is incorrect as the tassels observed in a corn cob represent the male Reproductive structure. Therefore, Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
