Question
Chapter 27.1, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To draw: A simple diagram of alternation of generation in plants with description regarding sporophyte and gametophyte generation, spores, gametes, meiosis, and fertilization process.
Introduction: Plants possess alternation of generations in which both multicellular haploid and multicellular diploid phases are present. Haploid gametes are produced during the gametophytic part of life cycle and when these haploid gametes fuse to form diploid zygote, sporophytic part of cycle starts.

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.
