Which one of the given pollination technique/adaptation is different than others?
Herkogamy
Geitonogamy
Dichogamy
Heterostyly
B.
Geitonogamy
Geitonogamy is a technique of self-pollination, in which pollen of one flower is deposited on the stigma of another flower of the same plant. While others are mechanisms adopted by bisexual flowers to avoid self-pollination and promote Cross-pollination.
• Dichogamy The condition where the maturing time of anther and stigma is different. Anther matures first, i.e.protandry, stigma matures first, i.e. protogyny.
• Herkogamy Includes mechanical barrier in flower to ensure cross-pollination.
• Heterostyle The height of stigma and Anther is different to avoid self-pollination.
The one advantage of cleistogamy is
It leads to greater genetic diversity
Seed dispersal is more efficient and wide spread
seed set is not dependent on pollinators
Each visit of pollinator results in the transfer of hundreds of pollen grains
In gymnosperms, the pollen chamber represents
A cell in the pollen grain in which the sperms are formed
A cavity in the ovule in which pollen grains are stored after pollination
An opening in the megagametophyte through which the pollen tube approaches the egg
The microsporangium in which pollen grains develop
