Fruits and plants have to disperse so that their seeds will travel away from their 'parent', even if it isn't a great distance. If plants did not disperse and the seeds all landed nearby, there would be 'survival of the fittest' (as Charles Darwin said) and they would constantly be in competition with each other for light, water etc. Therefore many of the plants would not survive!

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?
An ovary in a plant that aids in seed dispersal is called a fruit. Fruits develop from the ovary after fertilization and can take on various forms to aid in dispersal, such as being carried by animals or wind, or floating on water.
What is seed dispersal for an chiku?
Seed dispersal for chiku, or sapodilla, occurs primarily through animals that consume the fruit. When animals eat the sweet, fibrous flesh, they often discard the seeds at different locations, facilitating germination away from the parent tree. This process helps in the propagation of the species and enhances genetic diversity. Additionally, human activities, such as planting or transporting the fruit, can also contribute to seed dispersal.
What is The process of dispersal when a ripe fruit burst to open?
The process where a ripe fruit bursts open to release its seeds is called explosive dehiscence. This mechanism enables the seeds to be forcefully ejected from the fruit to disperse and germinate in new locations. It is a common method of seed dispersal in plants like peas and touch-me-nots.
What plant has seed pods that get caught in animal fur and on human clothing?
parts of a fruit that attach to an animal's fur for dispersal

One plant structure that is not an adaptation for fruit or seed dispersal is?
the leaf
What is an enlarged ovary of a plant that aids in seed dispersal?
An ovary in a plant that aids in seed dispersal is called a fruit. Fruits develop from the ovary after fertilization and can take on various forms to aid in dispersal, such as being carried by animals or wind, or floating on water.
What are 3 mechanisms and adaptations for seed dispersal?
Three mechanisms for seed dispersal are wind dispersal (seeds carried by wind currents), animal dispersal (seeds carried by animals), and water dispersal (seeds carried by water currents). Adaptations for seed dispersal include structures like wings or hairs on seeds that aid in wind dispersal, fruit that attracts animals to eat and disperse seeds, and buoyant seed coats that enable water dispersal.
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.
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.

What is the fate of ovule and ovary after fertilization?
After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed containing the fertilized egg, while the ovary develops into a fruit that surrounds and protects the seed. The fruit aids in seed dispersal, ensuring the survival and germination of the seed in a new location.
How are a coconut seed and watermelon seed most alike?
The fruit and seeds are alike in storage of food material. In the seed the food is stored for the embryo and in the fruit for the agency (the animal or bird) responsible for the dispersal of seeds.
What is the importance of seed dispersal?
Dispersal is important because it is the scattering of seed away from plant
What plant has seed pods that get caught in animal fur and on human clothing?
parts of a fruit that attach to an animal's fur for dispersal
