Question
Which is true for emasculation?
 
Options:
A .  Done in bisexual flowers to prevent self-pollination
B .  Done in unisexual flowers to prevent cross-pollination
C .  Done in staminate flower to prevent self-pollination
D .  Done in pistillate flower to prevent self-pollination
Answer: Option A
:
A
When performing artificial hybridisation, it is necessary that the stigma is pollinated with pollen collected from a desired male parent. If the flower chosen as the female parent is bisexual, the anthers are removed manually in a process called emasculation. This is done to prevent self-fertilisation in the female parent.
