MCQ
Autogamy can occur in a chasmogamous flower if:
  • A
    Pollen matures before maturity of ovule.
  • B
    Ovules mature before maturity of pollen.
  • Both pollen and ovules mature simultaneously.
  • D
    Both anther and stigma are of equal lengths.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Both pollen and ovules mature simultaneously.
Relative lengths of stigma and anther are not the only factors, time of maturity of pollens and ovules is also important in deciding the type of pollination. If pollens mature before ovules; they will become ineffective by the time the ovule matures. Hence, option $'c\ ’$ is the correct answer.
