Consider the following features seen in a plant:
I. Male and female reproductive organs are generally found in separate flowers.
II. The male flowers having a number of long filaments terminating in exposed stamens.
III. The female flowers having long, feather-like stigmas.
The flowers of this plant would most likely be pollinated by:
1. Wind
2. Water
3. Bees
4. Birds
The only type of pollination that brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma is:
1. Chasmogamy
2. Cleistogamy
3. Geitonogamy
4. Xenogamy
Dioecy in plants prevents:
1. Autogamy but not geitonogamy
2. Geitonogamy but not autogamy
3. Both autogamy and geitonogamy
4. Neither autogamy nor geitonogamy
If the female parent produces unisexual flower:
1. Emasculation must be done before maturity
2. Emasculation must be done after maturity
3. Emasculation must be done before pollination
4. Emasculation is not needed
Genetic self-incompatibility tends to increase
1. pollen dispersal
2. inbreeding
3. pollination
4. outcrossing
If a flower is to be pollinated by moths, it should
(1) be heavily scented
(2) be shaped like a tulip
(3) close about noon
(4) be brightly colored
Female flowers remain submerged in water and the pollen grains are released inside the water in:
1. Sea grasses
2. Vallisneria
3. Water lily
4. Water hyacinth
Which of the following is the most common abiotic pollinating agent?
| 1. | Insects | 2. | Birds and bats |
| 3. | Wind | 4. | Water |
Which one of the following may require pollinators, but is genetically similar to autogamy?
1. Geitonogamy
2. Xenogamy
3. Apogamy
4. Cleistogamy
Flowers, which have single ovule in the ovary and are packed into inflorescence are usually pollinated by
(1) water
(2) bee
(3) wind
(4) bat
