Question

Praveen and Neena planted a row of runner beans in their respective gardens at
the same time. Most of Praveen’s beans germinated successfully, but only some of
Neena’s did. Give three possible reasons why this might have happened.

Answer 1

Three reasons for this course of actions can be:

Explanation:

1. Nina’s seeds might have had low viability (ability to germinate). When a seed has low viability the chances of it growing into a plant are very less.
2. The soil of Nina’s garden may not have been as fertile as Praveen’s garden. Soil with proper nutrients is necessary for the growth of seedlings.
3. Nina might have overwatered or underwatered her seeds. Optimum amount of water plays a vital role in the growth of seedlings.
