Which among the following statements are true for sexual reproduction in flowering plants?

(c) pollination, fertilisation, embryo, seedling

(a) Sexual reproduction involves two parents with different sets of characters (b) The gene combinations are different in gametes.

In sexual reproduction, two individuals having different variations combine their DNA to give rise to a new individual. Therefore, sexual reproduction allows more variations, whereas in asexual reproduction, chance variations...

Gametogenesis, Pollination, Fertilisation, Embryogenesis

a. Sexual reproduction brings about variation in the offspring. b. Since gamete formation is preceded by meiosis, genetic recombination occurring during crossing over (meiosis-I), leads to a great deal of variation...

Correct answer is (b) (i), (ii) and (iii)

(i) Plants are obtained from seeds (iii) Fertilisation can occur only after pollination.

To avoid in breeding depression/to encourage cross pollination ,  i) pollen is released before the stigma becomes receptive or stigma becomes receptive much before the release of pollen. Blind ii) the anther...

Sexual reproduction promotes diversity of characters in the offsprings. It results in new combination of genes.
