DIRECTIONS: Read the passage(s) given below and answer the questions that follow. Passage- The transfer of pollen from the another to the stigma of a flower is called pollination.
If the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of the same flower, or on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, it is called self-pollination. When the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of a different plant of the same kind, it is called cross-pollination.
In cross-pollination,
(a) the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant.
(b) the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of a different plant of the same kind.
(c) both the above are correct.
(d) none of these is correct.
Correct Answer: (b) the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of a different plant of the same kind.

- When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then some particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube B from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ.
