Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
(A) Wind pollination — this matches (II) Grass. Grasses have light, non-sticky pollen, well-exposed stamens and large feathery stigmas. These features let wind carry the pollen, and wind pollination is very common in grasses.
(B) Water pollination — this matches (III) Zostera. Zostera is a marine sea-grass. Its pollen grains are carried by water, and they have a mucilage coat that protects them from wetting.
(C) Major insect pollinator — this matches (I) Bees. Among animals, insects, and bees above all, are the main biotic pollinators. They visit flowers for nectar and pollen.
(D) Tallest flower — this matches (IV) Amorphophallus. Its flower is about 6 feet tall. It offers insects a safe place to lay eggs, and the insects pollinate it.
