Question

Wind pollinated flowers produce light and dry pollen grains. Why?

Answer 1

Wind pollination is defined as the transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma through wind. Wind pollinated flowers produce light and dry pollens because:-

1. Light pollen grains are easily picked by air currents up to a long distance.

2. Dry and unwettable pollen grains remain protected from moisture present in the air.
