Question

Mulberry is pollinated by

• A. Wind
• B. Water
• C. Insects
• D. Birds

Answer 1

The correct option is A Wind

Mulberry may be monoecious or dioecious plant. The flowers are borne in short pendent catkins. Catkins are the clusters of flowers that are free to move and are characteristic of wind pollinated flowers. Thus, the anthers are borne in male catkins so that they can shed their pollen as they move due to wind. The female flowers are also pendulous so that pollen can be catched easily. Thus, pollination occurs by means of wind in Mulberry.

So, the correct answer is A.
