6. What are the features of the flowers of plants
that are (i) insect-pollinated and
(ii) wind-pollinated?
Answers
Hello❤️
The wind-pollinated flowers comprise light coloured petals, without a pleasant strong smell. The insect-pollinated flowers comprise brightly coloured petals with a pleasant strong smell. In wind-pollinated flowers, the produced pollen grains are smaller and lighter in weight, which can be carried by the wind easily.
