Question

Wind pollinated plants generally do not show the following character

• A. Feathery stigma
• B. Single ovule in the ovary
• C. Well exposed stamens
• D. Flowers are large and colourful

Answer 1

The correct option is D Flowers are large and colourful

The characteristics of wind pollination or anemophily includes a lack of scent production, less attractive and large floral parts, reduced production of nectar and production of enormous number of pollen grains. This distinguishes them from entemophilous (pollen being transported by the insects). The pollen grains are light and non-sticky, so that they can be transported with the wind currents.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
