Spiny or sticky pollen grains and large, attractively coloured flowers are associated with

Options

A. hydrophily
B. entomophily
C. ornithophily
D. anemophily

Answer

B

Explanation

Entomophily type of pollination takes place through the agency of insects. The entomophilous flowers are brightly coloured and fragranted to attract the insects. Their pollen grains are sticky or spiny to easily get attached with the body of pollinators. When pollen granis, and when they fly and visit other flowers, they brush aganist the stigma which being sticky, at once receives the pollen grains from their body. Thus, cross-pollination is achieved.
