Summary Introduction
To determine:
The bilaterally symmetrical vessel.
Introduction:
The blood vessels of the head and limbs are bilaterally symmetrical, which means that they are paired and present on both sides of the body. The aorta is the largest artery of the body and it branches off into ascending, descending and aortic arch further in its course. From the aortic arch, three arteries branch off, which include the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery.

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
