Question

In .......... flowers, the stigma is always branched rough and sticky.

• A. Entomophilous
• B. Anemophilous
• C. Hydrophilous
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Anemophilous

• The stigma of anemophilous flowers is always rough and sticky to increase the ability to capture pollen.
• Anemophily is the pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind.
• Features of wind pollination syndrome include a lack of scent production, a lack of showy floral parts, reduced proportion of nectar, production of enormous numbers of pollen grains.
• This distinguishes them from entomophilous and zoophilous species.

So, the correct answer is option B.
