if there is less clumping in dry areas, what would happen in humid areas? and what would that do to the relative amount of pollen and your allergies?

I will do this test today and let you know : )

I haven't checked the answer but i think it would be more to compensate for the pollen loss.

 

[Daichi Katase]

dammit. I am wrong. Did you read the explanation? That is a very stupid assumption. I still think it will want to compensate. Again, stupid question.

That was a very hard passage!

"Pollen...are smooth and dry." Thus, pollens like to be in dry climates. you can then assume that plants in dry climate have more pollens then plants in wet climate.

If a plant resides in areas where rainfalls are high, it will have less pollen. the answer is A. Am I right?
