Assertion : Emasculation prevents self pollination in flowers.
Reason : Emasculation is the removal of anthers from a bisexual flower.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
Explanation:
- Assertion: Emasculation prevents self-pollination in flowers.
This is true because emasculation involves the removal of anthers, which eliminates the source of pollen in a bisexual flower, thereby preventing self-pollination.
- Reason: Emasculation is the removal of anthers from a bisexual flower.
This is also true, as emasculation refers specifically to the removal of the male reproductive part (anthers) from flowers.
- Relationship: The reason correctly explains the assertion because removing the anthers ensures that the flower cannot pollinate itself. This process is often carried out in artificial hybridization to promote cross-pollination.
Thus, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
