Question

What happens if seeds are wrapped up in a wet towel for 2-3 days?

• A. Seeds get spoiled
• B. Seeds germinate
• C. Remains same
• D. Few germinate and few remain same

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Few germinate and few remain same

Seed germination depends on how deep the seed is planted, water availability, and temperature. When water is plentiful, like in the case above where seeds are wrapped in a wet towel, the seeds absorb water by a process called imbibition.
