Question

Anemophily is pollination by
A. Air
B. Water
C. Insects
D. Animal.

Answer 1

Hint: The process of pollination occurs through different media like air, water insects and animals, now we will find the media of the anemophily.

Complete answer:
To solve this question, at first, we have to know the types of pollination. Anemophily is pollination done by the help of wind. This pollination is known as anemophilous pollination. The flowers which carry out such forms of pollination are wind pollinating flowers. They are small, lightly colored and they do not produce nectar. The stamens of those flowers are long and hang out of the flower to help the wind to pollinate. The anthers are loosely connected to the filament and the pollens are very mild and dry.

Now lets us find the solution from given options -
A) Anemophily is the method whilst pollen is transported by the help air currents from one specific plant to another. About 12% of the world's flowering plants are wind-pollinated, including grasses and cereal crops, many trees, and the infamous allergenic rag weeds.
B) Pollination that occurs through water is called hydrophily. Pollination with the aid of using water is pretty uncommon in flowering plants.
C) Entomophily is a kind of pollination where pollen is distributed with the aid of using insects and the flower is called entomophilous flower.
D) Zoophily is a shape of pollination whereby pollen is transferred with the aid of using animals, usually vertebrates but also additionally consist of invertebrates, especially with the aid of using humming birds and different birds, and bats, however additionally with the aid of using monkeys, marsupials, lemurs, bears, rabbits, deer, rodents, lizards, and different animals.

Thus, the right answer is option A. i.e. Air.

Note: Abiotic pollination means the conditions where pollination occurs without the participation of different organisms. The most common type of abiotic pollination, anemophily, is pollination by wind.
