Question

8. A recent assertion is that plants use flowers and fruits to co-opt humans to propagate their offspring. Discuss why someone would come to this conclusion. (For example, how does the plant benefit? How do people benefit?) 9. Focus on Evolution. The history of life has been punctuated by several mass extinctions. For example, the impact of a meteorite may have wiped out most of the dinosaurs and many forms of marine life at the end of the Cretaceous period. Fossils indicate that plants were less severely affected by this mass extinction. What adaptations may have enabled plants to withstand this disaster better than animals? CamScanner

Answer 1

8) plants with beautiful flowers are used as ornamental plants, which means plants with beautiful flowers are dispersed by humans.

Plants having edible fruits are also cultivated by humans which helps in their dispersion, also the fruits contain edible parts and seeds so animals ( including humans) carry these fruits to different parts so the seeds are dispersed. so plants are benefited.

the plants provide fruits containing edible parts which are used by human as food so humans are also benefited from the plants.
