12. Why is pollination important for sexual reproduction in plants?
Ans: The fertilization of male and female gametes in an organism is known as sexual
reproduction. In plants, the male gamete is found in pollen grains and the pollen grains are
found in the anther part of the flower. Whereas, female gametes are present inside the
pistil. For fertilization to occur male gamete need to come in contact with the female
gamete which is carried out with the help of pollination. Pollination is the process by
which the pollen grains are transferred to the stigma of the pistil so that the male gamete
can fuse with the female gamete which is present inside the ovary of the pistil. After
fertilisation zygote is formed. Hence, pollination is a crucial step for sexual reproduction
in plants. Pollination can be of two types: i) self-pollination and ii) cross-pollination.

13. What are the different methods of seed dispersal and how are the seeds adapted
for the same?
Ans: Seeds dispersed to different areas for better colonization and survival. Seeds can be
dispersed by different methods using different means depending on the seed’s adaptation.
i. Dispersal by wind: Seeds that are dispersed by wings.
Adaption: lightweight, dry, feathered, or winged.
Example: Winged seeds of drumstick and maple, seeds of grasses and sunflowers, etc.

ii. Dispersal by water: Seeds that are dispersed by water.
Adaption: light and buoyant as well as water-resistant.
Example: This can be seen in coconut which is a buoyant floating seed with an outer
fibrous water-resistant coating.

iii. Dispersal by animals: Such seeds are adapted to attach to the body of the animal as
they graze or pass along the plants.
Adaptation: Seeds usually have spiny or hook-like structures that attach to the bodies of
the animals and are then carried away to distant places.
Example: Mango, Guavas, etc.

iv. Dispersal by fruit bursts: When fruits burst the seeds within are released far from
the parent plant.
Example: This is seen in castor

Q4. Explain the importance of seed dispersal.


Ans: Seed dispersal is the process of spreading a plant seed away from its parent plant.
Seed dispersal is important in many ways such as:
i. Prevents competition between new plants and parent plants for the limited nutrients,
sunlight, and water.
ii. Seed dispersal also ensures the continuity of the species and prevents the plant from
extinction.
iii. Seed dispersal allows plants to invade and colonize newer areas.
iv. It reduces the chance of predators destroying the whole plant species.
v. Speed dispersal also makes plants adapt to new environments.
