Ans A seed protects a plant embryo. It also contains a supply of food for the new plant and it aids in the plant dispersal.
This is an evolutionary adaptation. Seeds have storage tissue called the endosperm which provides nutrition for the developing embryom. Seeds are produced in large numbers and also wither on their own which helps in multiplication .So plants reproduce independantly. Seeds also have a seed coat which protects the embro in unfavourable conditions from dessicating .
Seeds do not necessarily require water during germination as the seed holds water .
Theses are all evolutionary adaptations of a seed .

Which of the following statements is FALSE? Seeds include a source of nourishment of the developing embryo. A selective disadvantage of seeds is that the seed coat is highly vulnerable to invasion by fungi and bacteria. Most plants that produce seeds also produce nonflagellated sperm. Many seeds can remain dormant during long periods of drought or low temperatures. 5. In seed plants, fertilization can occur without the presence of water. 2 The world's tallest plants...

Plant Diversity The scales of the female cones bear ovules, which enclose the female sporangia. Cells in the female sporangia also undergo meiosis to produce spores. One of the spores from each meiotic division develops into a female gametophyte by mitosis. As the pollen germinates and produces sperm nuclei by mitosis, the female gametophyte produces an egg. One sperm nucleus reaches the egg through the pollen tube and fertilizes it. Notice in Figure 6 that the male gametangium has been...

1. When you look at a pine or maple tree, the plant you see is a _____. 2. The Brazil nut tree, Bertholletia excels (n = 17), is native to tropical rain forests of South America. It is a hardwood tree that can grow to over 50 meters tall, is a source of high-quality lumber, and is a favorite nesting site for harpy eagles. As the rainy season ends, tough-walled fruits, each containing 8-25 seeds (Brazil nuts), fall to the...
