A scientist grew a bunch of plants in his experimental farm. Every morning he would go and collect pollen from one flower and deposit it manually into other flowers of his choice. Why do you think he does that?

The correct options are
A To create new and improved varieties
C To produce high-quality seeds
D To cultivate exotic varieties in the absence of its natural pollinating agents
Pollen grains from superior quality plants are collected and transferred to the stigma of other plants artificially without involving natural pollinators. This process is called artificial pollination. This process is used to produce high-quality seeds and new varieties. One more advantage of this method is that it enables cultivation of exotic varieties in the absence of the pollinating agent. For example, a variety of honey bee called Melipona pollinates the vanilla that grows in Mexico. So we have adopted artificial pollination to cultivate vanilla in our country as there are no Melipona bees here.
