Question

Cotton and Madar(Calotropis) seeds are dispersed by air as they have

• A. Pappus
• B. Wings
• C. Hair
• D. Flattened surface

Answer 1

The correct option is C Hair

Fruits and seeds dispersed by the wind are usually very small and light. They have wings and hair which enable them to float easily. They allow them to be carried around by the wind. Tufts of hair over the seeds or fruits help them to be carried away by the wind. Seeds of Madar and cotton have hair.

So the correct answer is 'Hair'.
