Q.List three floral adaptations each for wind-pollinated and insect-pollinated flowers.

Each set of adaptations maximises pollen capture by its specific agent.

Wind-pollinated (anemophilous) flowers are adapted to release pollen into moving air and to trap it passively on the stigma. Typical adaptations include: flowers that are usually small and inconspicuous (no need to attract a visiting agent); production of enormous quantities of light, dry, non-sticky pollen that can be carried far by air currents; and well-exposed, often versatile (freely swinging) anthers along with large, often feathery or branched stigmas that offer a big surface area to trap airborne pollen (as in grasses and maize).

Insect-pollinated (entomophilous) flowers, in contrast, are adapted to attract and reward a visiting pollinator. Typical adaptations include: large, showy, brightly coloured petals that are visually conspicuous; production of fragrance and/or nectar as a reward that draws insects in; and pollen that is comparatively larger, sticky or spinous so it adheres readily to an insect's body as it forages.

List adaptations under two headings (wind vs insect) covering flower appearance, pollen quality/quantity, and stigma/anther exposure.

Assuming wind-pollinated flowers are always colourless or petal-less -- some are simply small and unshowy rather than truly petal-less; the key giveaway is pollen quantity/texture and stigma shape, not colour alone.
