A papaya has many seeds. each papaya seed can grow into a new tree.however, that does not happen. why
Answers
Even if papaya has many seeds not all seeds grow into trees.
The first reason is that not all papaya seeds are matured in same way.
Even if all seeds are matured some seeds are eaten by birds or animals.
Now the remaining seeds which fall on soil fight for proper nutrients.
Among them very few conquer the circumstances to become a tree.
Answer:
It is tough for the papaya seeds to reach the soil and it has to compete with others for proper spacing, air and water in order to grow.
Explanation:
A papaya fruit has many seeds, all of which are equally potent, which means that all these seeds are equally capable of growing into a new plant. But this, however, does not happen always. This is because, papaya, as a fruit, can be eaten by birds, terrestrial animals, especially mammals like man, monkey, etc., and in the process, they unknowingly scatter the seeds far away. Some seeds are also destroyed in the process. The remaining seeds, that ultimately manage to make their way into the soil, often has to compete for proper spacing, air, water and soil nutrients to survive and grow properly.
