1multiple correct

Which of the following are types of self-pollination?

Show answer

Autogamy, Geitonogamy

Self-pollination includes autogamy (pollen from same flower) and geitonogamy (pollen from different flower of same plant). Allogamy and cross-pollination involve different plants.

2true false

Cross-pollination produces healthier offspring than self-pollination.

Show answer

True

Cross-pollination brings genetic material from different plants, leading to genetic variation and healthier, more vigorous offspring compared to self-pollination which can lead to weaker generations.

3multiple correct

Which characteristics favor insect-pollinated flowers?

Bright colors, Sweet scent, Nectar production

Insect-pollinated flowers attract insects with bright colors, sweet scent, and nectar. Small dull flowers and feathery stigma are characteristics of wind-pollinated flowers.
