Question 1
Which type of pollination involves the transfer of pollen by wind?
  • Hydrophily
  • Anemophily✔️
  • Entomophily
  • Zoophily
Correct Answer Explanation
Anemophily is pollination by wind. Wind-pollinated plants (e.g., grasses, conifers, oak) typically produce large quantities of light, smooth, dry pollen; have reduced or absent petals; lack nectar and scent; and have feathery stigmas to catch airborne pollen. Hydrophily = water, Entomophily = insects, Zoophily = animals (including birds and bats).
