Question
Identify the correct description about the given figure:
Options
A.Cleistogamous flowers showing autogamy.
B.Compact inflorescence showing complete autogamy
C.Wind pollinated plant inflorescence showing flowers with well exposed stamens.
D.Water pollinated flowers showing stamens with mucilaginous covering.
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Wind pollination]
The figure is intended to represent a wind pollinated inflorescence. Exposed stamens release pollen into the air; a compact inflorescence alone does not establish autogamy. Hence, option (3). Wind pollination involves movement of pollen between flowers by air currents.
