Solution
(ii), (iii) and (iv)
Explanation -
Flowers which possess either stamens or pistil are called unisexual flowers. These flowers are borne either on the same or different plants thus, pollen grains need to be transferred from one flower to another through agents like wind, water or animals, that is, cross pollination occurs. Since fruits develop from the ovary of the pistil, unisexual flowers with stamens only cannot bear fruits.

The correct sequence of reproductive stages occurring in flowering plants is ______
When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then some particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube b from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ. Here C fuses with the nucleus of d contained in structure E. the fusion of C and D forms a new cell f which grows and develops into a seed of the plant.
