Model Answer
(a) Hibiscus has a higher possibility of self-pollination, as it is a bisexual (perfect) flower with both stamens and pistil present in the same flower.
(b) The two reproductive parts of a bisexual flower are:
- Stamen (male reproductive part – produces pollen)
- Pistil/Carpel (female reproductive part – contains ovules)
Explanation
- For (a): Mustard, Papaya, and Watermelon have separate male and female flowers or plants (unisexual), making cross-pollination more likely. Hibiscus is bisexual (has both stamens and pistil), so self-pollination is possible.
- For (b): Examiners expect the correct botanical terms — stamen and pistil (or carpel). Avoid vague terms like "male part" without naming them.
