Question

Wind pollination is common in
(a)Orchids
(b)Legumes
(c)Lilies
(d)Grasses

Answer 1

Hint: It is an herbaceous plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. It is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. The study of these plants is known as Agrostology.

Complete answer:
Pollination is the process of transfer of pollen grains from the male of a flower to the female stigma. Elements such as animals (insects, birds, and bats, etc.), water, wind, and even plants themselves are pollinating agents. Grasses are commonly pollinated by the wind and are known as Anemophily. These are monocot plants. Tall grass-like plants known as cereal grasses produce kernels (called cereal grain) at the top of their stalks. It is grown for food such as oats, wheat, sorghum, and corn and it is also grown for fuel. The flowers of such wind-pollinated plants are small and inconspicuous; they have long and versatile stamens. Like in maize, wheat, bamboo the pollen grains are dry, lightweight, and non-sticky.

Additional Information: -Pollination is important because it leads to the production of fruits and seeds which in turn can create more plants.
-Pollination by the agency of ants is called myrmecophily, pollination by the agency of bats is called chiropterophily, and pollination by the agency of insects is called entomophily.
-Pollinators receive nectar and/or pollen rewards from the flowers like sugary nectar provides pollinators with carbohydrates while pollen offers proteins, fats, vitamins, and necessary phytochemicals.
-The offspring produced is usually healthy, viable, and stronger.
-Two types of pollination- The transfer of pollen from another plant to the flower of another plant is known as cross-pollination. The pollination of a flower by pollen from the same flower or another flower on the same plant is known as self-pollination.
-In plants, after pollination, fertilization occurs when haploid gametes (pollen grain and egg) by certain agents meet to create a diploid zygote, leading to an embryo.
So, the correct answer is 'Grasses'

Note: In flowering plants, the seeds of which typically contain only one embryonic leaf, or cotyledon are known as monocots, whereas dicot plants contain two cotyledons in its embryo. Monocots include most of the grains and bulb plants like bamboo, bananas, corn, grass, lilies, onions, rice, sugarcane, and tulips.
