Question

State whether the following are true or false. Correct the false statements.​

(iv) Self-pollination produces variations.​

Answer 1

False ​

• Corrected statement - Cross-pollination produces variations.​
• In self-pollination, the gametes from the same flower or plant fuse to form the progeny, hence it does not produce variation while in cross-pollination gametes from two genetically different plants of same species are fused and it may lead to the production of beneficial variations in the progeny. ​
