Identify the correct statement(s):
(a) Transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant is called xenogamy.
(b) Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination but genetically it is like autogamy.
(c) Cleistogamous flowers produce assured seed-set even in the absence of pollinators.
Transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant is called xenogamy. This is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.
Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination but genetically it is like autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant.
Cleistogamous flowers produce assured seed-set even in the absence of pollinators as they undergo only self-pollination.
Hence, all the options are correct.
