Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the characteristics of wind-pollinated plants: Wind-pollinated plants typically have small, inconspicuous flowers that do not produce nectar or have strong scents, as they do not need to attract pollinators.
Identify common wind-pollinated angiosperms: Grasses, such as maize and wheat, are often wind-pollinated. Trees like oak and maple also rely on wind for pollination.
Consider the structure of the flowers: Wind-pollinated plants often have flowers that produce large amounts of pollen and have structures that facilitate pollen dispersal by wind.
Evaluate the listed options: Maize and wheat, as well as oak and maple trees, fit the characteristics of wind-pollinated plants, while roses and tiger lilies typically rely on animal pollinators due to their showy flowers.
Conclude based on the characteristics: The first and second responses are correct because maize, wheat, oak, and maple trees are examples of angiosperms that are likely wind-pollinated.
