Which of these is a feature not present in seedless plants that have contributed to the success of seed plants on land? a. Seeds have four layers of protective tissue, the seed coat, that improve survival by providing more protection from environmental stresses. b. The reduced gametophytes of seed plants are nurtured by sporophytes and protected from stress, such as drought conditions and UV radiation. c. Seed germination is solely mediated by water during episodes of heavy rain. Od. Pollen grains, with walls containing sporopollenin, deter herbivores.

Imagine that you are a member of a research group conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. Your group has submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document.Unit 8 DQ Question: Why is seed dispersal important in the life of plants? What would be the consequences of having seeds that simply fell to the ground underneath the parent tree? (Editor’s note: addressing this question will provide needed background information to the ‘Introduction’ of your paper).
