Question

Which of the following is not a characteristic feature of wind pollinated flowers?
Options:
-Flowers produce huge quantities of pollen
-Petals are brightly coloured and showy
-Pollen grains are light and non- sticky

Answer 1

Answer:

Petals are brightly coloured and showy

Explanation:

The characteristics of wind pollination or anemophily :

• They do not have any scent production.
• They are less attractive and do not have large floral parts.
• They are different from the entomophilous (pollen being transported by the insects).
• They have pollen grains that are light and also non-sticky and this helps them to be transported with the wind currents.

Thus, the correct answer is: Petals are brightly coloured and showy.
