Show answer
Correct Option: B

To some extent viability of pollen grains depends on prevailing temperature and humidity.

evs weather, climate and adaptations of animals to climate weather, climate and adaptation of animals to different climates climate and weather atmosphere and its components

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • The period for which pollen grains remain viable is highly variable and to some extent depends on the prevailing temperature and humidity. 
  • The pistil is developed and ovules reach maturity before the pollen grains are ripe. Hybrid seed production as soon as tomato hybrid cultivars gained popularity, ordinary conditions of storage pollen viability can hardly be retained.
