Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of pistils.
Features of wind pollinated flowers :
• Production of large number of pollen grains compared to the number of ovules available for pollination.
• The pollen grains are light and non-sticky. Stamens are well exposed in the flowers so that the pollen grains are easily dispersed.
• Stigma is large and feathery to trap the pollen grains.
• Each ovary has usually one ovule.
• Many flowers are packed into a single inflorescence with tassels so that pollen grains can be easily trapped.
