Question

Which of the following is true about anemophily?

• A. Pollen grains are produced in less quantities
• B. Pollen grains are sticky
• C. Pollination is not precise and is dependent on chance
  
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Pollination is not precise and is dependent on chance

In anemophilous plants, pollen grains are produced in large quantities and are small, smooth and dry. Pollination is not precise, as the pollen grains move along with the direction of wind and hence, pollination is by chance as it may or may not fall on a compatible and receptive stigma.
