Assertion (A): Fertilization cannot take place in flowers if
pollination does not occur.
Reason(R): Fertilization requires both male and female gametes
in a flower.
a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of the assertion.
b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
c) A is true, but R is false.
d) A is false, but R is true.

Dear studennt,

Option A is correct.

Without pollination male and female gametes can not come closer.

Pollination is the process by which pollens are transferred to the egg in the female part of the flower for fertilization. Without pollination male gametes (pollens) cannot reach the egg. Thus fertilization cannot possible.

Regards.
