Self-incompatibility is controlled by_________?

Correct answer: A. Multiple alleles

  • A. Multiple alleles
  • B. Polygenes
  • C. Plasmogenes
  • D. Both B and C

Explanation

Self-incompatibility is commonly controlled by a multi-allelic S locus, where pollen is rejected when its incompatibility allele matches that of the pistil. It is therefore associated with multiple alleles, not generally with polygenes or plasmogenes.
