Answer 2

Wind pollinated flowers do not have fragrance because:

 

Explanation:

• Wind pollinated flowers need only wind to travel their pollen grains from one plane to another.

• So, the ideal characteristics for wind pollinated flowers will be light weight and small in size so that they could easily be carried away with the winds.

• They do not need fragrance to attract or for pollination to occur. Hence, wind pollinated flowers lack fragrance, bright colors or nectar like the insect pollinated flowers.
