Identify the correct order of steps involved in artificial hybridization in plants.

Enlist the steps of controlled cross-pollination. Would emasculation be needed in a cucurbit plant? Give reasons for your answer.

To ensure that only the desired pollens fall on the stigma in artificial hybridization process:
$(a)$ The female flower buds of a plant producing unisexual flowers need not be bagged.
$(b)$ There is no need to emasculate unisexual flowers of the selected female parent.
$(c)$ Emasculated flowers are to be bagged immediately after cross-pollination.
$(d)$ Emasculated flowers are to be bagged after the removal of anthers.
$(e)$ Bisexual flowers showing protogyny are never selected for cross.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Emasculation and bagging are useful for

Arrange them in the correct sequential order in which they are followed in the hybridisation programme. $(a)$ Re-bagging $(b)$ Selection of parents $(c)$ Bagging $(d)$ Dusting the pollen on stigma $(e)$ Emasculation $(f)$ Collection of pollen from male parent.
