List any three outbreeding devices that flowering plants have developed for cross-pollination and explain how they help to encourage cross-pollination.
Marking-scheme solution
− Self-incompatibility is the genetic mechanism which prevents self-pollination by inhibits the germination of pollen from same flower or different flower of same plant on stigma.
− Unisexual flowers have no chance for self-pollination
− Receptivity of male and female parts: Pollen release and stigma receptivity are not synchronised.
− Position of male and female parts: The anther and stigma are placed at different positions so that the pollen cannot come in contact with the stigma of the same flower.
− Unisexual plants have no chance of self-pollination.
− Any other correct outbreeding device.
