उत्तर
Adaptations in anemophilous flowers:
- The flowers are small, inconspicuous, colourless, without nectar and fragrance (odour).
- The pollen grains are light in weight, dry and produced in large numbers to increase chances of pollination considering wastage of pollen grains.
- Stigma is feathery to trap pollens carried by wind currents.
- Stamens are exserted with long filaments and versatile anthers.
- Stamens and stigmas are exposed to air currents.
