The same reason you don't look exactly like either one of your parents. The pollen from one plant with certain characteristics often will fertilize the egg of another plant with certain other characteristics and the resulting seed with have some of the characteristics of the "daddy" plant and some from the "mommy" plant.

What part of a flower forms around a seed?
Flower seeds are produced by the ovary. The ovary accommodates the embryos that are fertilized by the sperms to form ovules. The ovules which later become seeds are so many attached on the ovary walls.
Do pineapples grow from seeds?
they do NOT grow on a tree. They are members of ther bromeliad family, which includes epiphtytes (tree-dwelling) and terrestrial (ground-dwelling) species. Pineapple Annas comosus is a ground-dwelling bromeliad that is grown commercially in Hawaii and other tropical locations. It is native to South America. Good question! :)
How do spores structurally different from seeds?
1. Spores are single celled and seeds are multicelled 2. A spore germinates to form a gametophyte, whereas a seed germinates to form a sporophyte 3. Spores can hardly survive for longer period during adverse conitions, but seeds can do 4. Spores are produced in the sporangium; seeds are produced inside the fruit
Why is terminator technology used?
Terminator technology is used in agriculture. It is a form of genetic engineering that creates seeds that produce plants that have sterile seeds at the end of the growing season. Thus, farmers have to buy seeds each year and do not have the option of saving them from their harvests (which most do not do now).
If a plant can be grown from a cutting of its parent what type of reproduction does this represent?
It is an example of asexual reproduction. A bit of one plant is taken and then grown. The new plant is genetically identical to the original
What kind of plants form seeds?
Plants belonging to Angiosperms and Gymnosperms, collectively known as Phanerogames, form seeds.
Where do seeds of fruit bearing plants form?
In the flowers.
How do wild plants form?
They grow from seeds left by previous generations of wild plants.
In flowering plants what do seeds form in?
In the ovary (which is then called the fruit)
Why is a plant successful if it has many flowers?
Flowers form seeds, if there are many flowers means more seeds to form new plants
What part of a plant produces the seeds?
Seeds form from ovules in the ovary of the plant. In fruit-bearing plants, the fruit develops around the ovule as the fertilized seeds develop. Other plants form seed pods or kernels for the same purpose, which is to enclose the seeds.
How do plants with cones form?
The seeds of flowering are enclosed in an ovary that develops into a fruit, plants with cones, by contrast are members of a group called gymnosperms from the Greek for "naked seeds".
What are the two groups of plants that form seeds?
Plants that have flowers or fruit. I know that's not an answer Mrs. Watson's class.
Why some plants no need seed to grow?
Seeds are a way that some plants reproduce. Those that do not use seeds for reproduction, do not need seeds. <><> They have other means of reproduction. Strawberry plants send out runners, which will root and form new plants. Potato plants grow potatoes, which sprout into new plants. Garlic and daffodils grow bulbs, which sprout new plants.
What part of a flower forms around a seed?
Flower seeds are produced by the ovary. The ovary accommodates the embryos that are fertilized by the sperms to form ovules. The ovules which later become seeds are so many attached on the ovary walls.
Why do fruits produce seeds?
All plants and animals have some form of reproduction whether it be seeds or underground runners, eggs or live birth.
What is a non-seed plant and how can they reproduce without seeds?
there are some commercial crops which we have cultivated to be seedless. that does not mean this is the natural form of reproduction. some, like bananas are grown comercially by tissue culture, others like grapes by cutting, and watermelons are made seedless by the use of hybrid seeds There are also some plants like mosses and ferns that do not have seeds and reproduce from spores.
