Dispersal of seeds
Vegetative propagation
Answers
Explanation:
1. Germination-Germination refers to the process by which an organism grows from a seed or a spore. The most common forms of germination include a seed sprouting to form a seedling and the formation of a sporeling from a spore. Thus, germination occurs primarily in plant and fungal species.
2.Pollination-Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of the plant, the anther, to the female part of the plant, the stigma, to fertilize the plant and make wonderful baby plants, called seedlings.
3.Dispersal of seeds-The fruit has a single purpose: seed dispersal. Seeds contained within fruits need to be dispersed far from the mother plant, so they may find favorable and less competitive conditions in which to germinate and grow. Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float.
4.Vegetation propagation-Vegetative propagation is an asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs in its leaves, roots and stem. This can occur through fragmentation and regeneration of specific vegetative parts of plants.
