(b) Ovule

(c) Egg cell

(d) Secondary nucleus

Answer :

(a) Ovary into fruit

(b) Ovule  into Seed

(c) Egg cell into seed cover

Question 2:

Differentiate between the following :

(a) Self pollination and Cross pollination

(b) Seed and Fruit

(c) Anemophily and Entomophily

Answer :

(a) Self pollination and Cross pollination

Cross-Pollination

The cross-pollination is defined as the deposition of pollen grains from a flower to the stigma of another flower. Commonly, the process is done by insects and wind. By insects, the process takes place in several plants like strawberries, grapes, raspberries, tulips, apples, plums, pears, daffodils, and more. Pollination by the wind is observed in different grasses, maples trees, dandelions and catkins.

Self Pollination

In this process, the pollen grains transfer from the stigma of the same or genetically similar flower. Self-pollination can be observed in legumes such as orchids, sunflowers, peas, peanuts, oats, peaches,  potatoes, wheat, and others

(b) Seed and Fruit

Difference Between Fruit and Seed. The key difference between fruit and seed is that fruit is the developed ovary of angiosperms after fertilization while seed is a fertilized ovule of plants.  After the fertilization, the ovule becomes the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit

(c) Anemophily and Entomophily

Question 3:

Answer the following questions briefly:

(a) Mention two ways in flowers which favour cross pollination.

(b) List some advantages of self pollination.

(c) What are disadvantages of cross pollination?

Answer :

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another or the same flower.

Anemophily are those flowers in which pollination is carried out by wind.

Entomophily are those flowers in which pollination is carried out by insects.


C .LONG ANSWER TYPE,  (Page 54)

Pollination and Fertilisation ICSE 9th Solutions Srijan Publishers

Question 1:

What is pollination? Mention its types and two advantages of each type of pollination.

Answer :

Advantages of Self Pollination:

1. It maintains the parental characters or purity of the race indefinitely

2. Self pollination is used to maintain pure lines for hybridisation experiments.

3. The plant does not need to produce large number of pollen grains.

4. Flowers do not develop devices for attracting insect pollinators.

5. It ensures seed production. Rather it is used as fail safe device for cross-pollinated flowers.

6. Self pollination eliminates some bad recessive characters.

Question 2:

How does cross pollination form a better progeny?

Answer :

Cross pollination forms a better progeny because it allows for diversity in the species, as the genetic information of different plants are combined. However, it relies on the existence of pollinators that will travel from plant to plant

Question 3:

What events lead to fertilisation in a flower?

Answer :

Fertilization in flowering plants happens through a process called pollination. Pollination occurs when pollen grains from the anther land on a stigma. After pollen grains land on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain, through the style, and into the ovary.

Question 4:

Give four differences between insect-pollinated and wind-pollinated flowers.

Answer :

Wind pollinated flowers Insect pollinated flowers
Pollinating Agent
The pollinating agent is wind. The pollinating agents are an insect.
Morphological features of a Flower
The wind-pollinated flowers comprise light coloured petals, without a pleasant strong smell. The insect-pollinated flowers comprise brightly coloured petals with a pleasant strong smell.
Pollen Grains
In wind-pollinated flowers, the produced pollen grains are smaller and lighter in weight, which can be carried by the wind easily. In insect-pollinated flowers, the produced pollen grains are larger in size, sticky and spiny which helps the insect to carry the pollen grains.
Stigma
Stigma is feathery or sticky and found hanging out of petals. Stigma is small and is situated deep inside the petals.
Stamens
The stamens are long and visible out of petals. Stamens may be small and hidden inside petals.
Anther
The anthers are often seen being supported outside the flower The anthers are found deep inside the flower.
Filaments
The filaments found in these flowers are slender and long. The filaments found in these flowers are strong and short.
Production of Nectar
These flowers do not produce nectars. These flowers produce a lot of nectars.
Wastages
There is a lot of wastage as more number of pollen grains are produced. There is no wastage as less number of pollen grains are produced.
Type of Flowers
Plants bear only unisexual flowers. Plants bear bisexual flowers.

Question 5:

What are the advantages of the following in the flowers to the plant concerned?

(a) Bright and coloured petals

(b) Minute and light pollen

(c) Fragrance and nectar

(d) Long and feathery stigma

Answer :

a) Bright and coloured petals- Attract insect for pollination

(b) Minute and light pollen–favour air pollination

(c) Fragrance and nectar–Attract insect for pollination

(d) Long and feathery stigma- favour air pollination to long distance
