Conifers Produce Copious Amounts of Pollen During Reproduction

question 9

Multiple Choice

Conifers produce copious amounts of pollen during reproduction.What would be a likely consequence of a significant reduction in the amount of pollen produced by conifers?

• A)There would be little effect because pollinators would still be able to transfer pollen from the male cones to the appropriate female cones.
• B)There would be a significant negative effect on the viability of seeds because double fertilization could not occur,so there would be no food available for the growing embryo.
• C)There would be a decrease in the number of seeds produced because the chances of pollen reaching a female cone of the same species would be reduced.
• D)There would be a significant decrease in the genetic diversity of embryos,but little effect on the number of seeds as only one pollen grain is necessary to fertilize a single female cone.
