One advantage of cleistogamy is |
|
a) |
It leads to greater genetic diversity |
b) |
Seed dispersal is more efficient and widespread |
c) |
Seed set is not dependent on pollinators |
d) |
Each visit of a pollinator results in transfer of hundreds of pollen grains |

(c) Cleistogamy is the phenomenon, where flowers never open and in them only self-pollination occurs within the bud (unopened flower). It has the advantage that seed set is not dependent on pollinators. |
