What can be scattered?

Rain showers can be scattered, you will often hear the weather forcaster, forcasting scattered showers, seeds too can be scattered either by natural events such a being scattered by the wind, or animals, or a farmer may scatter seeds in order to grow crops. In maths terms you can produce scatter graphs with data plotted or scattered all over the graph area.The final answer is to have your ashes scattered.


Suppose that in a pea plant round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in the and ldquotexture and rdquo gene. If you were to take two plants heterozygous for the texture gene and cross them togethe?

Suppose that, in a pea plant, round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in the "texture" gene. If you were to take two plants heterozygous for the texture gene and cross them together to make eight new plants, how many of those plants should express the smooth phenotype? Use a Punnett's Square to determine the results.


Which seeds have hooks on them?

This is so the plants seeds can hook on to something like a humans clothes or an animals fur and get transported to another area where they can start to grow.


What two advantages does gymnosperms have over seedless vascular plants?

Seeds, in gymnosperms are naked whereas in angiosperms, they are enclosed in fruits.


What adaptations do plants have taken on over the years to make sure that their seeds are able to travel farther away?

The plants haven't adapted. When plant seeds get wet they can ruin. In earlier times it was harder to seal containers effectively so the seeds could get wet and ruin. Now it's easier to make sure the seeds don't come in contact with moisture.

How did plant seeds get to Hawaii?

Plant seeds got to Hawaii by birds flying over the islands and dropping some seeds either by their poop landing on the islands or by seeds dropping from plants that they were carrying.


Why do plant seeds need to be scattered?

Plant seeds need to be scattered because if there are too many germinating plants growing in one spot then there will be over-crowding and compitition for light, oxygen, nutrients in soil and other resources. The slightly shorter plants won't receive enough light or oxygen for growth and will die because these vital resources will be blocked by the taller plants. Chances of diseases will increase that will lead to detoriation of human and plant health.
