Solution

Seed germination:

  1. Germination is the sprouting of a seed, or spore, after dormancy.
  2. Water is absorbed by the embryo during the seed germination process.
  3. It is resulting in rehydration and cell expansion.
  4. These events are linked to structural changes in organelles in embryonic cells.
  5. The first sign that seed is viable is usually the emergence of the root.
  6. The shoot will eventually grow and emerge from the seed.
  7. When seedlings germinate in the dark, root growth slows, and shoot elongation accelerates.
  8. The first unequivocal indication of germination in a seed is root growth.
