Question 262 (2 of 7 Based on Passage)
Write in Short
Short Answer▾Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. Pollen can be transferred to the stigma by being carried by the wind or by animals.
(i) State two structural adaptations of a flower for wind-pollination.
Explanation
Wind pollinated flowers have few ovules or even one ovule in the ovary, because the chances of pollination are rare. Anemophilous flowers are small and inconspicuous with long and versatile stamens. e. g. , Sugarcane, Maize, Wheat, Bamboo, Pinus, Papaya, Grasses, Typha, Datepalm, Coconut, Mulberry, Chenopodium etc. This type of pollination mainly observed in Graminae. A tassel of maize gives rise to 20 - 25 million pollen grains.
