Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Wind-pollinated flowers produce very large amounts of light, dry, smooth pollen. Their stamens are long and hang outside the flower so the pollen is easily carried away, and their stigmas are large, branched or feathery to catch it. The flowers themselves are small, dull, and have no scent or nectar.
