Cross pollination offers variation.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Question is taken from Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants in section Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) True

The explanation: Cross pollination is usually carried out by insects and animals or the environment. When insects land on the flower, the sticky pollen grains that CARRY the male gamete attach themselves to the insect body. When the same insect goes and LANDS on another flower, the pollen grains land on the stigma. This is cross pollination. Since fertilization is happening between male and FEMALE gametes of different flower, variation is SEEN which helps in adapting itself to the changing weather conditions.
