Answer 1

In sea grass, pollens are long, ribbon like and without exine exhibiting hypohydrophilous pollination.

Explanation:

In seagrasses (like Zostera), pollination occurs underwater. The pollen grains are long, ribbon-like, and lack a waterproof exine, allowing them to float at various depths until they collide with and wrap around the stigma of a female flower.
