Question

Which of the following is not an adaptation for anemophily?

• A. Enormous amount of pollen
• B. Long feathery stigmas
• C. Single ovule in the ovary
• D. Sticky pollen grains

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Sticky pollen grains

Wind pollinated plants produce enormous light non-sticky pollen grains. They have gynoecium with a single ovule in the ovary and often bear large feathery stigmas. These adaptations enables the plant to pollinate through wind.
