Question
Chapter 37.4, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To give: Three examples of environmental factors that influence seed germination in certain plants and the advantage of each of these germination requirements.
Concept introduction: Seed germination is the process by which the young seedlings are developed into a mature plant. The seeds contain embryonic plant and food for providing nutrients to the developing embryo. Although, the plants have to adapt many evolutionary changes in order to provide protection to the young seedling from the internal and environmental factors.
