The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of pollination based on the given characteristics of flowers, we can analyze each feature step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Characteristics**: - The characteristics provided are: - Light and non-sticky pollen grains - Exserted stigmas and anthers - Large, often feathery stigmas - Flowers that are colorless, odorless, and nectarless - Common in grasses 2. **Analyze the Characteristics**: - **Light and Non-Sticky Pollen Grains**: This suggests that the pollen is designed to be carried by wind rather than sticking to pollinators. - **Exserted Stigmas and Anthers**: This indicates that the reproductive parts are extended out of the flower, which facilitates the transfer of pollen by wind. - **Large, Often Feathery Stigmas**: Feathery stigmas increase the surface area for capturing pollen carried by the wind. - **Colorless, Odorless, and Nectarless Flowers**: These traits are typical of flowers that do not attract pollinators, which is consistent with wind pollination. - **Common in Grasses**: Many grasses are known to be wind-pollinated. 3. **Determine the Type of Pollination**: - Based on the analysis, the characteristics align with **anemophily**, which is the process of pollination by wind. - Other options like hydrophily (water), entomophily (insects), and zoophily (animals) do not match the provided characteristics. 4. **Conclusion**: - The features described are characteristic of **anemophilic flowers**, which are primarily pollinated by wind. ### Final Answer: The above features are the characteristics of **anemophilic** flowers. ---
