Question

A flower’s anthers are removed before it matures. Later, pollen from another plant of the same species is dusted onto its stigma and seeds are produced. Which process has been ensured here? 

Options

• Self-pollination

• Cross-pollination

• Fertilisation

• Tissue culture

Answer 1

Cross-pollination

Explanation:

Pollen from another plant of the same species is transferred to the stigma, so cross-pollination is ensured. Fertilisation may follow, but the process ensured here is cross-pollination.
