  1. Pollen grains of many species can germinate on the stigma of a flower, but only one pollen tube of the same species grows into the style.
  2. Some reptiles have also been reported as pollinators in some plant species.
  3. Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are regulated by chemical components of pollen interacting with those of the pistil.
  4. Insects that consume pollen or nectar without bringing about pollination are called pollen/nectar robbers.

Correct answer · Option 1

Pollen grains of many species can germinate on the stigma of a flower, but only one pollen tube of the same species grows into the style.

Explanation

Stigma is species-specific; generally, pollen grains of the wrong type or different species do not germinate on the stigma, making statement (3) incorrect.
