If you were to remove the anthers from a self-incompatible plant, how would this affect the fertilization its female gametes? A) Fertilization would continue, as self-incompatible plants are fertilized with pollen they produce. B) Fertilization would stop, as self-incompatible plants are fertilized with pollen they produce. C) Fertilization would continue, as self-incompatible plants rely on pollen from other individuals. D) Fertilization would stop, as self-incompatible plants rely on pollen from other individuals.

Solution

C is answer (because si stop inbreeding it need other to get fertilized)

Explation :- Self - incompatibility refers to failure of pollen to fertilized the same flower or other flower of same plant or pollen tube penetrate the full length of style and effect fertilization .self incompatibility is an important out breeding mechanism, which prevent auto gamy and produce allogamy. when a plloen grain produce in a plant reched a stigma of the same plant the process of pollen germination , pollen -tube growth , ovule fertilization and embryo development is halted at one of its stage and no seed are produced. SI is one of the most important means of preventing inbreeding and promoting the generation of new genotype in plant .

That means that this plant need other individuals to gets fertilized
