Question

In Maize, the type of pollination is
A)Self Pollination
B)Pollination by air
C)Pollination by water
D)Pollination by insects

Answer 1

Pollination is the process of moving from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma pollen grains. For the next generation, the aim of any living organism, including plants, is to produce offspring. By creating crops, one of the ways that plants can grow offspring.

Complete answer:
Maize plants use air for its pollination and this is the reason its pollens are light and non-sticky, stigma are hairy, long and free to capture pollens. Wind pollination or self-pollination is the most important staple food crops on the earth, such as wheat, corn, rice, soybeans and sorghum.

A large number of plant species are also visited by wild pollinators and plants are visited by a large number of species of pollinators. Together, all these connections form a network of plant and pollinator interactions. The layout of networks composed of interactions between plants and pollinators has been shown to have unexpected similarities. In somewhat diverse habitats on various continents, composed of totally different organisms, this structure has been shown to be identical.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: Climate change is triggering a 'pollinator shortage' in the agricultural sector. Due to the decline in pollination methods, this crisis is impacting crop production and related costs. This disruption can be spatial or phenological. In the first example, animals that usually occur in common seasons or time periods have distinct reactions to changes in the ecosystem and therefore no longer communicate with each other.
