Q.

The pollination of maize takes place by

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.
