Cleistogamy is leading over anthesis because
pollination agent is not required
it assures heterozygosity
it favours insect pollination
it allows xenogamy
A.
pollination agent is not required
Cleistogamous flowers do not open at all. In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie close to each other. Anthers when dehisce in the flower buds, pollen grains come in contact with the stigma to effect pollination Thus, cleistogamous flowers are autogamous as there is no chance of cross-pollination. So, no pollination agent is required in these flowers.

Cut surfaces of fruit and vegetables often become dark because
dirty knife makes it dark
oxidation of tannic acid in the presence of trace of iron from the knife makes it dark
dust of the air makes it dark
none of the above.
