• A. Provides nourishment to the embryo
• B. Dispersion of seeds by many biotic and abiotic factors
• C. Provide protection to the embryo
• D. Are genetically identical to female parent

Answer 1

The correct option is D Are genetically identical to female parent

Seeds are a product of sexual reproduction. They can provide a number of variations and also offer the new plants to adapt in different environmental conditions. The presence of seed coat of seed protects the developing embryo until it has grown sufficiently. The seeds present in the fruits can be dispersed by many agents through distant places allowing them to spread in a larger geographical area. These agents can be abiotic (water, wind, etc) or biotic (insects, mammals, etc).
