To describe:the similarity and difference among annuals, biennials, and perennials.
Introduction:Vascular seed plants generate seeds. Each seed generally comprises a tiny sporophyte enclosed by protective tissue. The plants whose seeds are section of fruits are known as
Explanation of Solution
Annuals | Biennials | Perennials |
The life spans of the annual plant are one year | The life spans of a biennial plant are two years | The life spans of perennial plants are several years. |
During its life spans, it sprouts from a seed, grows, sets seed, and then dies. | In the first year, it germinates, produces leaves and root system, and in the second year, leaves, flowers get matured and develop seeds and die. | During its life span, it produces flowers and seeds yearly |
Long bloom periods | Long bloom period | Shorter bloom period |
All plant life spans are genetically determined and represent adaptations to withstand tough conditions. Therefore, all plant life spans are affected by environmental factors.
