Question

Select the incorrect statement:

• A. In geitonogamy, pollination occurs in different flowers.
• B. In Vallisneria, pollination takes place with the help of water.
• C. Autogamy involves pollination within the same flower.

Hint:

Geitonogamy is pollination between flowers of the same plant, while autogamy involves self-pollination within the same flower.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Vallisneria is pollinated by water and autogamy means self-pollination within one flower, so statements (b) and (c) are both true. Geitonogamy needs the two flowers to belong to the same plant, a condition statement (a) fails to mention, which makes (a) the incorrect statement.
