Question

Why is wind a good agent of pollination?

• A. Because flowers like swaying in the wind
• B. Because pollen grains can easily float in the air
• C. Because pollen grains get easily attracted to the wind
• D. Because insects can fly in the wind

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Because pollen grains can easily float in the air

Pollen grains are very small and light. As such, pollen grains can easily float in the air and get transferred from the anther to the stigma within the same flower or even other flowers of the same species. So, wind is a major and good agent of pollination.
