Q
Seed dispersal
A
The fruit enables the seed to be carried more frequently and effectively
-the seed is released from the ovary and will germinate under proper conditions
1
Q

A
Epicotyl- precursor of the upperstem and leaves
Cotyledons- the seed leaves. Dicots have two seed leaves and monocots have only one
Hypocotyl- develops into the lower stem and root
Seed coat- develops from the outer
Covering of the ovule. Embyro and its
Seed coat together make the seed

A
- Apical meristem
2. Lateral meristem
3
Q

A
Found in the tips of roots and stems
-growth in length occurs only at these points
4
