Why is it important that seeds are spread as far as possible from the parent plant?
So that when the roots start to grow, they aren't blocked by the roots of the parent plant or they aren't competing with the parent plant for the water and nutrients in the soil. The seeds also need as much sunlight as possible, and if they are under the shade of the parent plant they can't get this.
Why is seed dispersal important to plants?
Seed dispersal helps to spread the seeds of a plant far away from the parent plant. This helps to avoid overcrowding. this also helps the baby plant to receive all nutrients it needs without fighting with the adult plants.
How do seeds disperse themselves?
it disperse their seeds in 4 ways.it shoots out its seeds to a far placeanimals eat the seeds and pass it outit disperse by airit disperse by water
What is the effect of height on seed dispersal?
the higher the seed is in the air,the far it can be dispersed from parent plant.
Do the seeds fall far away from mother plant in balsam plant?
yes,in balsam plant the seeds fall off from the mother plant because it is a Autochory type plant. Autochory is an active mechanism of fruits and seeds. fruits like balsam burst with a sudden jerk and disperse the seeds by an explosive mechanism. disperse - scattered. explosive - a substance that bursts out with loud noise. jerk-suddenly throw or push.
How Do the fluffy parachutes of the dandelion seeds help the seeds to spread out?
They are caught by even the slightest breeze - making them travel far from the parent plant.

How do fruits in the dispersal of angiosperms?
Fruits contain seeds and the fruits are eaten by animals who carry the seeds far and wide until they deposit them somewhere far enough from the parent plant by defecating.
What is a benefit of a seed being dispersed far away from parent plant?
This helps to raise the offsprings chance of survival, at the same time ensuring the parent plants survival. If the seeds land close to the parent plant competition for resources such as water, sunlight, and nutrients will take place, weakening both the offspring plants as well as the parent plant.
What are the adaptations of dandelion?
many plants use wind to help them. with the dandelion the seeds cleverly use wind power, this helps spread the seeds as far away as possible from the parent plant.
How do fruits aid in the dispersal of angiosperm?
Seeds are inside fruit; fruit is a vehicle designed to transport the seeds by falling/rolling (apple), water (coconut) or being eaten and seeds deposited (berries).

What would happen if seeds didn't spread and remained at one place only?
Many would not be able to grow into mature plants. The competition would be too great. The parent plants want the seeds to travel far away from them as possible. Also the chances of getting into new areas for that plant species to grow on a variety of conditions and to evolve will be curtailed.

Why is seed dispersal important for the survival of plant species?
