2015 AIPMT-I 2 questions
-
Which one of the following may require pollinators, but is genetically similar to autogamy?In geitonogamy, pollen is transferred to the stigma of another flower of the same plant with the help of a pollinating agent, so it is genetically similar to autogamy.
Xenogamy transfers pollen between different plants; apogamy is reproduction without fertilisation; cleistogamous flowers do not open and self-pollinate. -
Which one of the following statements is not true?Honey is made from flower nectar, not by digesting pollen; it consists of sugars, minerals, enzymes and water.
So the statement about honey is not true.

Geitonogamy involves:Geitonogamy is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.

-
Advantage of cleistogamy is:Cleistogamous flowers never open, so self-pollination is assured and seed set does not depend on pollinators.

-
Even in absence of pollinating agents seed-setting is assured inCommelina produces cleistogamous flowers, which never open.
Their anthers and stigma lie close together, so self-pollination and seed-set are assured even without pollinators.
Fig depends on wasps, Zostera on water and Salvia on insects.
