    Contrivances in flowers which\u00a0favour\u00a0cross-pollination:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

    4. Structural barriers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Solution D.1.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      (a) Long and feathery stigma: Help to trap pollen grains in wind-pollination
      \n(b) Brightly coloured petals: Attracting insects for cross-pollination
      \n(c) Smooth and light pollen: Easily carried by wind to enable cross-pollination
      \n(d) Protruding and easily movable anthers: Even slightest wind can move them
      \n(e) Fragrant nectar: Attracting insects for pollination<\/p>\n

      Solution D.2.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Advantages of cross-pollination:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The offspring are healthier.<\/li>\n
      2. The seeds produced are abundant and viable.<\/li>\n
      3. New varieties may be produced by cross-pollinating two different varieties of the same species.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Disadvantages of cross-pollination:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Pollination is not always certain.<\/li>\n
        2. The pollen has to be produced in large quantity.<\/li>\n
        3. The process is uneconomical for the plant because the flowers have to be large,coloured, scented and have to produce nectar for attracting pollinating agents.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Solution E.1.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          \"\"
          \nThe pollen tube grows out of the pollen grains by breaking through its\u00a0exine<\/span>. The pollen tube grows through the stigma and style by dissolving these tissues with the help of enzymes and reaches the ovary, where it enters the ovule through a minute pore called the\u00a0micropyle<\/span>.<\/p>\n

          Solution E.2.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          a)
          \n1 \u2192 Exine
          \n2 \u2192 Intine
          \n3 \u2192 Pollen tube
          \n4 \u2192 Tube nucleus
          \n5 \u2192 Generative nucleus
          \n(b) Germination of the pollen grain takes place only after it falls on the stigma of the same plant species. The pollen grain is stimulated to germinate due to the secretion of sugars by the stigma.
          \n(c) The function of part ‘4’ (tube nucleus) is to direct the growth of the pollen tube towards the ovary.
          \n(d) During germination of the pollen grain, part ‘5’ (generative nucleus) present at the tip of the pollen tube divides into two sperm nuclei. The pollen tube enters one of the synergids and releases its two sperm nuclei. Of these, one sperm nucleus enters the egg cell and fuses with its nucleus, while the other sperm nucleus moves towards the two polar nuclei in the central cell and fuses with them.<\/p>\n

          Solution E.3.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          (a)
          \n1 \u2192 Style
          \n2 \u2192 Pollen tube
          \n3 \u2192 Polar nuclei
          \n4 \u2192 Embryo sac
          \n5 \u2192 Antipodal cells
          \n6 \u2192 Micropyle
          \n(b) After fertilisation
          \n(i) The ovary enlarges to form the fruit and the ovarian wall forms the fruit wall.
          \n(ii) The ovule becomes the seed.
          \n(c) Synergids help in nourishing the egg cell, guiding the pollen tube towards the egg, proper functioning of the pollen tube and release of sperm nuclei.
          \n(d) Pollen grain is transferred to the stigma during pollination. Germination of pollen grain takes place only if it falls on the stigma. After germination, the pollen tube grows through the stigma and reaches the ovary for the fertilisation of the egg cell.<\/p>\n
