Question

Wind pollinated flowers are ....................

• A. Small, producing nectar and dry pollen.
• B. Small, brightly coloured, producing large number of pollen grains.
• C. Small, producing larger number of dry pollen grains.
• D. Large, producing abundant nectar and pollen.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Small, producing larger number of dry pollen grains.

Pollination by wind is called as anemophily. In anemophilic flowers, the weight will be too little so that it is easily carried away in the air. It will be numerous in structure and also will be maximum dry which enhances the pollen grain to travel a very far distance for dispersal.
