A) small petals and sticky pollen
B) small coloured petals and heavy pollen
C) coloured petals and large pollen
D) no petals and light pollen
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] Wind-pollinated flowers are small and non-essential parts like petals are either absent or reduced. Pollen grains are light, small and dusty and are thus easy to be carried by wind. Whereas in the insect pollinating flowers, the petals are bright and scented, so that the insects get attracted to it. Thus, wind-pollinated plants differ from insect-pollinated plants in having no petals and light pollen.
