The movement of pollen grains from anther to stigma of the same flower is called: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The movement of pollen grains from anther to stigma of the same flower is called:
A. Cross-pollination
B. Hydrophily
C. Anemophily
D. Self-pollination
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Self-pollination (autogamy) occurs within the same flower or between flowers of the same plant. Cross-pollination (allogamy) involves different plants. Hydrophily is pollination by water, anemophily by wind. Self-pollination ensures genetic uniformity, while cross-pollination promotes variation. Cleistogamous flowers (e.g., groundnut) are obligate self-pollinators.

Question #1
The branch of biology concerned with the study of tissues is:
A. Anatomy
B. Cytology
C. Histology
D. Morphology

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Histology is the microscopic study of tissues—groups of cells with similar structure and function. Cytology deals with cells, anatomy with gross body structures, morphology with form and external features. Histological techniques involve staining and microscopy to examine tissue architecture in health and disease.

Question #2
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming involves the rearing of milk-producing animals. 2. Poultry farming involves the rearing of birds for meat and eggs. 3. Apiculture involves the rearing of silkworms. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Dairy farming is the business of breeding, raising, and managing dairy animals (like cows and buffaloes) for the production of milk and milk products. Poultry farming involves the commercial raising of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, and turkeys) for the production of meat and eggs. Apiculture is the scientific rearing of honeybees (Apis species) for the production of honey, beeswax, and other hive products; silkworm rearing is sericulture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
Consider statements about environment: 1. Acid rain damages buildings and monuments. 2. Ozone depletion increases UV radiation. 3. Global warming is caused by a decrease in greenhouse gases. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Acid rain, containing sulfuric and nitric acids, corrodes buildings, monuments (like the Taj Mahal), and statues made of limestone and marble. The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer reduces its ability to absorb harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation, increasing the amount reaching the Earth's surface. Global warming is caused by an increase, not a decrease, in atmospheric greenhouse gases (like CO2 and methane), which trap more heat. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
