Wind pollinated flowers are:
Correct answer: B. Small, producing large number of dry pollen grains
- A. Small, brightly coloured, producing large number of pollen grains
- B. Small, producing large number of dry pollen grains
- C. Large producing abundant nectar and pollen
- D. Small, producing nectar and dry pollen
Explanation
Wind-pollinated flowers are typically small and produce a large quantity of dry pollen grains. This adaptation is necessary because wind cannot precisely deliver pollen to specific targets as insects do. Dry pollen can be easily carried by the wind to increase the chances of pollination.
