NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Wind-pollinated plants produce large numbers of light, dry pollen that are easier to carry by the wind. Stigma is the topmost surface of the pistil that receives pollen grains. Wind-pollinated flowers have a large, feathery stigma in order to trap the airborne pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anemophilous, or wind pollinated flowers, are usually small and inconspicuous, and do not possess a scent or produce nectar.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is seen that wind-pollinated flowers have either small petals or no petals at all, and that their anthers and pistils are exposed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wind-pollinated plants don’t normally have flowers, but when they do they are small, don’t have perfumes or nectar, produce large amounts of light pollen, have stamens and stigmas exposed to air currents to either catch or distribute pollen and don’t normally have flower petals.
