Question

The process of removing stamens from flowers during hybridization is

• A. Crossing
• B. Selfing
• C. Emasculation
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Emasculation

In artificial hybridization, the process of removing stamens from the bisexual flowers without affecting female parts, so as to prevent self-pollination is known as emasculation. This process is carried out by plant breeders in order to cross-pollinate the required plant variety with the desired variety to get desired results.

So, the correct answer is 'Emasculation'
