Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Kind of Pollination)	List-II (Features)
(A) Autogamy	(I) Pollination involving flowers of two different plants
(B) Geitonogamy	(II) Pollination involving water
(C) Xenogamy	(III) Pollination involving two flowers of the same plant
(D) Hydrophily	(IV) Pollination involving the same flower

• A. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
• B. (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
• C. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
• D. (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The task is to match the items in List-I, which describes the kind of pollination, with the corresponding features from List-II. Here are the explanations for each type: 

1. Autogamy: This involves pollination within the same flower. Therefore, it matches with (IV) Pollination involving the same flower.
2. Geitonogamy: This type occurs between two flowers of the same plant, so it corresponds to (III) Pollination involving two flowers of the same plant.
3. Xenogamy: This is pollination between flowers of different plants. It matches with (I) Pollination involving flowers of two different plants.
4. Hydrophily: Pollination facilitated by water, matching with (II) Pollination involving water.

Thus, the correct matches are:

• (A)-(IV)
• (B)-(III)
• (C)-(I)
• (D)-(II)

Therefore, the correct answer is (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II).

Answer 2

Here is the correct matching between the types of pollination and their features:

(A) Autogamy (IV): Autogamy is self-pollination that occurs within the same flower. In autogamy, pollens from the same flower fertilize the ovules of the same flower, leading to self-fertilization.

(B) Geitonogamy (III): Geitonogamy involves pollination between two flowers of the same plant. Though the flowers are different, the pollen comes from the same plant.

(C) Xenogamy (I): Xenogamy is cross-pollination, involving pollen from one plant fertilizing the ovule of a different plant. It occurs between two genetically distinct plants of the same species.

(D) Hydrophily (II): Hydrophily refers to pollination by water, where pollen is carried by water to the ovules in aquatic plants.

Thus, the correct match is:

(A) Autogamy → (IV) Pollination involving the same flower

(B) Geitonogamy → (III) Pollination involving two flowers of the same plant

(C) Xenogamy → (I) Pollination involving flowers of two different plants

(D) Hydrophily → (II) Pollination involving water

Correct Answer: (3) (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II).
