Given below are two statements: Statement I: Cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous. Statement II: Cleistogamy is disadvantageous as there is no chance for cross-pollination. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statements about cleistogamous flowers:Statement I: Cleistogamous flowers are invariably autogamous. - Cleistogamous flowers are those that do not open and are self-pollinated. - Since they do not open, there is no opportunity for cross-pollination, making them strictly autogamous. - Therefore, Statement I is correct.Statement II: Cleistogamy is disadvantageous as there is no chance for cross-pollination. - Cleistogamy indeed limits genetic diversity because it prevents cross-pollination. - This can be considered a disadvantage as it restricts the genetic variability that can be beneficial for adaptation. - Therefore, Statement II is correct.Since both statements are correct, the correct answer is Option 1: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
