A. | self-pollination |
B. | pollination by insects |
C. | pollination by air |
D. | pollination by rain |
Answer» C. pollination by air | |
Explanation: Maize (called corn in some parts of the world) is pollinated by air. The male anthers let go of their pollen and it blows over to a nearby female flower on another corn plant. Most of the flowers are either male or female on a corn, rather than both sexes in one flower. Maize flowers have evolved to use air for pollination. |
