How does seed dispersal happen?
There are five methods of seed dispersal.The first one is human dispersal, when human beings harvest the plant, take the seed out from the fruit, and plant it in another plot of land (like tomatoes, cucumbers, etc...). Water dispersal is when the fruit falls in the water and is light enough to float for at least a few seconds (like coconuts, water lilies, etc...). Animal dispersal is when an animal gets the fruit stuck in its hair or fur and scratches it off after a few minutes or eats the fruit and the seed emerges from its droppings (like burrs, mistletoe, etc...). Wind dispersal happens when the fruit is light enough to glide with the wind for at least a few seconds (like schizocarps, samaras, etc...), and mechanical dispersal is when the seed(s) are dispersed in a way like a slingshot (like peas, forget-me-nots, etc...).
What is purpose of the fruit that develops on a flowering plant?
The fruit is is the seed bearing structure and in some plants the fruit is used to help seed dispersal.
What is an enlarged ovary of a plant that aids in seed dispersal?
The swollen ovary in plants is called the fruit.
What are the agents of germination?
There are 5 main methods of seed dispersal. They are;- Wind dispersal- Gravity dispersal- Water dispersal- Animal dispersal (including humans!)- force dispersal
Fruit name 10 fruit bearing plants with their agents through which seeds are dispersed and the part of or seed which helps in dispersal?
Apple

What part of a flower develops into fruit into a seed?
The part of a flower that develops into a fruit that contains seeds is the ovary. After fertilization of the ovule, the ovary swells up and creates fruit that animals eat-creating seed dispersal.
What is the mode of seed dispersal of hair seed of madar?
wind is the mode of seed dispersal of hair seed of madar
Why do flowering plants bear fruit?
After pollination the ovules develop into seed and the ovary ripens to become the fruit. This firstly protects the ripening seeds, the ripened fruit sometimes assists with seed dispersal as they are eaten by animals who then transport and deposit the seed in different locations.
