Assertion: Self-sterility inhibits self-pollination.
Reason: Dichogamy is the condition in which only self-pollination occurs.

Answer

  1. Assertion is true, but reason is false.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Self-sterility is the condition in which the pollen of a flower has no fertilizing effect on the stigma of the same flower. Cross-pollination is thus the only method in them for the production of seeds. In many bisexual flowers, the anther and stigma often mature at different times. This condition is known as dichogamy. Dichogamy often stands as a barrier to self-pollination. There are two conditions of dichogamy.

  1. Protogyny when the gynoecium matures earlier than the anthers of the same flowers.
  2. Protandry when the anthers mature earlier than the stigma of the same flower. In both cases, only cross pollination is possible.
