NEET · Biology · STD 12 - 1. sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Identify the incorrect statement related to Pollination:
- A Pollination by wind is more common amongst abiotic pollination
- B Flowers produce foul odours to attract flies and beetles to get pollinated
- C Moths and butterflies are the most dominant pollinating agents among insects
- D Pollination by water is quite rare in flowering plants
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Moths and butterflies are the most dominant pollinating agents among insects
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement C is incorrect because bees, not moths or butterflies, are the most dominant and frequent biotic pollinating agents among insects. Bees are responsible for pollinating a vast majority of flowering plants due to their specialized structures for carrying pollen and their frequent flower visits for nectar and pollen.
