Early seed plants were pollinated by ________,as are present-day conifers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early seed plants, as well as present-day conifers, were pollinated by wind. This is because wind is able to carry pollen grains directly from the male to the female reproductive structures of the plant, without the need for an intermediary organism like a beetle, bee or butterfly. Water is also unlikely to be the correct choice, as water pollination is generally associated with aquatic plants.
