Which of the following statements are true about self pollination? (i) Self pollination is the most economic method for plant modification (ii) Genetic stability can be maintained in the progeny through self pollination (iii) Undesirable characters can be eliminated through self pollination (iv) Continued self pollination may result in the less viable seeds (v) Self pollination favours evolution
Answer: (A)
Solution
Self pollination is economical, keeps the progeny genetically stable (pure lines) and continued selfing causes inbreeding depression (less viable seeds), so (i), (ii) and (iv) are correct;
