Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
In wheat, cross-pollination is possible at 15%.Wheat is a self-pollinating crop that produces seed when pollen from anthers fertilizes the receptive ovary in the same flower of a single-parent plant.
Hybrid wheat, where the seed is produced from two different parent plants, requires cross-pollination which is rare in nature, possibly 15%.
