Question

In what type of plant arrangement is wind pollination most common?

Options

• Pollination happens randomly without regard to plant arrangement

• Pollination is common in flowers growing more individually where insects visit them

• Pollination occurs only in isolated flower specimens

• Pollination is common in plants growing in groups

Answer 1

Wind-pollinated flowers are typically found in plants growing in groups or dense populations, which increases the probability that wind-dispersed pollen will encounter receptive flowers. Insect-pollinated flowers are adapted for individual plants where insects can locate and visit isolated flowers.
