MCQ
One advantage of cleistogamy is:
  • A
    It leads to greater genetic diversity.
  • B
    Seed dispersal is more efficient and widespread.
  • C
    Seed set is not dependent on pollinators.
  • D
    Each visit of a pollinator results in transfer of hundreds of pollen grains.

Answer

  1. Seed set is not dependent on pollinators.

Explanation:

Cleistogamy is a type of self - pollination that is seen in permanently closed Self - pollinating flowers.

These flowers are called as cleistogamous flowers.

Self - pollination leads to lesser genetic diversity.

Seed dispersal does not takes place in it due to closed flowers.

Seed set is not dependent on pollinators as they are self fertilized.
