Question

Which condition promotes cross-pollination by ensuring male and female parts mature at different times?
Options
A Autogamy
B Protandry
Correct Answer
C Apomixis
D Cloning
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Protandry and protogyny are conditions where the male and female organs mature at different times, preventing self-pollination. This forces the plant to engage in allogamy (cross-pollination).
