Question

Hazelnut seeds are spread by squirrels. What kind of dispersion is it out of the following?

• A. Human
• B. Wind
• C. Animal
• D. Bird

Answer 1

The correct option is C Animal

$\bullet$ Hazelnut seeds are hard and dry having dark-brown skin.
$\bullet$ Apart from squirrels, humans and birds also contribute in animal dispersal of seeds. These organisms might drop a few seeds on the ground while consuming the fruits or seeds. In this way, they disperse seeds.
$\bullet$ They are not so light-weight to be dispersed by wind.
