A flower’s anthers are removed before it matures. Later, pollen from another plant of the same species is dusted onto its stigma and seeds are produced. Which process has been ensured here? (i) Self-pollination (ii) Cross-pollination (iii) Fertilisation (iv) Tissue culture

Answer: (ii) Cross-pollination
- The anthers are removed before maturing, so the flower cannot self-pollinate.
- Pollen comes from another plant of the same species and lands on the stigma — this is cross-pollination (which then leads to fertilisation).
