  1. Advantage of cleistogamy is:
    1. More vigorous offspring
    2. No dependence of pollinators
    3. Vivipary
    4. Higher genetic variability
Correct Option: B

Cleistogamy favours no dependence on pollinator because flowers never open. In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie close to each other. When anthers dehisce in flower buds pollen grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination.
