- BMany ovules in each ovary
- CFlowers are small and not brightly coloured
- DPollen grains are light and non-sticky
Correct answer
B. Many ovules in each ovary
Step-by-step solution
Characteristics of wind-pollinated flowers:
i) The pollen grains are light and non – sticky so that they can easily be carried by air currents.
ii) The flowers have well–exposed stamens so that the pollens are easily dispersed into wind currents.
iii) Flowers have a large feathery stigma to easily trap the airborne pollen grains.
iv) Nectar is absent.
v) Presence of a single ovule in each ovary
vi) Flowers packed into an inflorescence.
