NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 1. sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar.
Reason (R) : The flowers produce enormous amount of pollen grains in wind and water pollinated flowers.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
- B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)
- C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
- D \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar, this is because they rely on wind and water to carry their pollen. Wind and water pollinated flower do not need to attract insect, so they did not evolve to produce bright coloured flower.
