Assertion A: Xenogamy involves transfer of pollen grains from the flower of one plant to the stigma of another plant.

Reason R: This is the only type of pollination which brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

The correct answer is:

MEDIUM

Assertion (A): Pollengrains are well preserved as fossils

Reason (R): The exine of pollen grains is made up of sporopollenin, which can withstand high temperatures, strong acids and alkali.
