Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024
Production of healthier offspring, viable seeds and formation of new varieties are good characteristics
A
self pollination
B
cross pollination
C
wind pollination
D
insect pollination
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B
Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen from one plant to the stigma of a different plant. This process promotes genetic diversity, as the offspring inherit genes from two different parent plants. This genetic variation can lead to healthier offspring, viable seeds, and the potential for new varieties with improved traits. Self-pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination don't necessarily lead to such significant genetic variations.
