Chapter 10.2, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Seed dispersal and seed protection are the purpose of the fruits of a plant. In order to find favorable and less competitive conditions in which the seeds can germinate and grow, they need to be dispersed far. Followed by fertilization the tissue produced inside the seeds of most of the flowering plants is known as the endosperm and it provides nourishment in the form of starch, even oils, and protein as well. The more colorful petals of the flowers easily attract the pollinators.
