What features of a pollen grain makes it suited for being brushed off an insect?
The pollen grain is usually sticky and bright in color. These are the features that make the pollen grains suited for being brushed off by an insect.

What are the characteristics of self pollinated plants?
There are two types of pollination, cross pollination and self pollination. self pollination occur when male part (androecium) of the flower of one plant pollinated on the female part (gynoecium) of the same individual. usually plant with self pollination will have characteristics like: 1. the anther and the stigma are matured at the same time - meaning the stigma are ready to receive the pollen grains at the same time as the anther mature to release it pollen grains. 2. the pollen grains and the stigma are compatible. (means stigma can accept the pollen grains-there is no rejection of pollen grains)
What is the different in pollen at wind and insect pollination?
Insect pollinated is attractive and colourful, the former isn't Besides petal color the insect pollinated flowers also have insect attracting smell where as in wind pollinated flowers the petals are neither attractive nor scented.

Bright-colored, nectar-containing, nice-scented petals with firm, sticky pollen-producing anthers and firm, sticky-coated stigma inside the blooms are what tell -- just by looking -- that a flower is insect-pollinated. The structural looks back up the function-serving purposes of attracting insects (bees, butterflies) to fulfill feeding requirements through nectaring in order to have pollen moved between male and female parts for reproduction.
