Question
Chapter 21.3, Problem 5LO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason that why plants exhibit various procedures of seed dispersal.
Given:
The plants have different procedures of seed dispersal.
Introduction:
Seed dispersal refers to the transport of conduction of seeds away from the parent plant. The plants exhibit restricted motion and thus rely upon a different dispersal vector to conduct their propagules, including both the biotic and abiotic vectors. There are five prime means of dispersing seed, which are wind, gravity, water, ballistic, and by animals.
