Q.

Identify the incorrect statement related to Pollination:

  1. A

    Pollination by water is quite rare in flowering plants

  2. B

    Pollination by wind is more common amongst abiotic pollination

  3. C

    Flowers produce foul odours to attract flies and beetles to get pollinated

  4. D

    Moths and butterflies are the most dominant pollinating agents among insects

Solution

Bees are the most dominant insect pollinators of flowering plants worldwide, not moths and butterflies. Statement (4) is therefore incorrect.

The other statements are accurate: hydrophily is rare, anemophily (wind) is the more common abiotic pollination, and foul-smelling flowers such as Amorphophallus attract flies and beetles for sapromyophily.
