MCQ
Progeny produced as a result of cross-pollination:
  • A
    Genetically inferior
  • B
    Is homozygous with phenotypic uniformity
  • C
    Shows a high degree of variability and is evolutionary important
  • D
    Genetically abnormal
✓

Answer

C. Shows a high degree of variability and is evolutionary important
Explanation:
Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of another flower with the help of pollinating agents like wind, insects, etc. Cross-pollination leads to genetic variabilities because of the more chances of mixing of characters and thus, phenotypes and genotypes. Hence, it enriches the gene pool.
