The correct Answer is:
To identify the floral characters found in anemophilous flowers, we will evaluate each of the provided statements: 1. **Pollen grains are light in weight**: This statement is **correct**. Anemophilous flowers rely on wind for pollination, and lighter pollen grains can be easily carried by the wind. 2. **Pollen grains are sticky**: This statement is **incorrect**. Sticky pollen grains would adhere to surfaces and not be easily carried by the wind. Anemophilous flowers typically have non-sticky pollen grains to facilitate wind dispersal. 3. **Flowers possess well-exposed stamens**: This statement is **correct**. Well-exposed stamens allow for better dispersal of pollen grains by the wind, increasing the chances of successful pollination. 4. **Large feathery stigmas**: This statement is **correct**. Large and feathery stigmas help in capturing pollen grains from the wind, making it easier for the flower to receive pollen. 5. **Single ovule in each ovary and numerous flowers packed into inflorescence**: This statement is **correct**. Having a single ovule in each ovary minimizes resource expenditure and maximizes the chances of successful pollination when many flowers are present in an inflorescence. **Summary of Correct Statements**: - Statement I: Correct - Statement II: Incorrect - Statement III: Correct - Statement IV: Correct - Statement V: Correct Thus, the correct statements regarding the floral characters found in anemophilous flowers are I, III, IV, and V. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are I, III, IV, and V. ---
