A flower’s anthers are removed before it matures. Later, pollen from another plant of the same species is dusted onto its stigma and seeds are produced. Which process has been ensured here? (i) Self-pollination (ii) Cross-pollination (iii) Fertilisation (iv) Tissue culture

The correct option is (ii) Cross-pollination. Removing the anthers prevents self-pollination, while dusting pollen from a distinct individual plant of the same species onto the stigma guarantees cross-pollination.

    1. The correct option is (ii) Cross-pollination. Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one plant to the receptive stigma of a different plant of the same species. Emasculation or removing the immature anthers, eliminates any possibility of self-fertilization, ensuring that subsequent dusting of external pollen artificially accomplishes cross-pollination.
