-Enclosing the seed

17
Q

What happens to the seeds?

A

They’re dispersed in various ways, including human activity.

18
Q

What is the flower structure designed with?

A

The stamen and carpal that facilitate sexual reproduction.

19
Q

Different pollination methods such as wind, water, and animals affect what in flowers?

A

Their characteristics which indicates adaption to their environment.

20
Q

Why are pollinators important?

A

They assist in plant reproduction BUT importantly play a vital role in maintaining our food system.

21
Q

What does the process of fertilzation involve?

A

It involves pollen tubes and male gametes

22
Q

What are pollen tubes and male gametes crucial for?

A

It is critical for seed development, ensuring the continuation of plant species.

23
Q

What happens after fertilization in fruit development?

A

The ovary enlarges into fruit

24
Q

Why is it important for the ovary to enlarge into fruit?

A

It protects and aids in the dispersal of seeds, illustrating the plant’s reproductive strategy.

25
Q

What does the various methods of seed dispersal ensure?

A

Genetic diversity and the colonization of new areas, showcasing plants’ adaptability.

26
Q

What does the reproductive cycle contribute?
