Assertion: Cross pollination is the only means of pollination in unisexual flowers.
Reason: Self-sterility is the only way to prevent self-pollination in bisexual flowers.

Answer

  1. Assertion is true, but reason is false.

Explanation:

In plants such as hemp and willow where the flowers are unisexual cross pollination becomes obligatory. However, in plants with bisexual flowers legitimate self-pollination is prevented through the various adaptations, such as self-sterility, dichogamy, herkogamy and heterostyly. All those plants in which pollen from a flower is incapable of bringing about fertilization in the same flower are said to be self sterile or self-incompatible.
