Question

Since plants are immobile, they are not able to travel in order to select mates, exchange gametes, and disseminate their offspring. Summarize how each of the following adaptations helped plans overcome this limitation.

1) flower morphology

2) coevolution among flowers and their pollinators

3) fruit morphology

Answer 1

Plants have the capacity to adapt itself for survival. They develop these characteristics in order for them to survive.

1. flower morphology - Flowers have this feature that aid them to produce seeds and grow new plants. Their parts serves this purposes specifically their petals and nectar so that insects will be attracted to visit. Insects serves as a way to transport pollen to different flowers to produce seeds.

2. coevolution among flowers and their pollinators - Vascular plants make flower with these kind of nectar to attract insects to visit them. These insects will transport the pollen for pollination to make seeds. These is a reciprocal change in different plants that affect their interaction.

3. fruit morphology -
