Animal-Pollinated Flower Adaptations — NEET Biology

Which of the above statements are correct? S1: Flowers adapted for animal pollination often possess features like prominent colours, scents, and nectar to attract specific biotic agents. S2: Wind-pollinated flowers typically have large, showy petals and produce abundant nectar to compensate for the chance factor in pollen dispersal. S3: The absence of pollinators would severely compromise the reproductive success of flowers primarily relying on biotic vectors, regardless of their visual or olfactory cues. S4: Water-pollinated plants always ensure their flowers remain submerged to facilitate pollen transfer by passive water currents. S5: The sticky nature of pollen grains in animal-pollinated flowers helps in their efficient transport by the visiting animal's body.
