What is the goal of seed dispersal?
- parent plants and their offspring will not have to compete for resources
- every seed that a plant makes will not germinate
- sperm and egg will be brought together
- endosperm and embryo will be made and protected
The definition of seed dispersal is the moving of embryo-bearing seeds away from the parent plant.

What is ballistochory?
- the tissue inside a seed that nourishes the embryo
- growth of a new plant
- seed dispersal by force
- the combination of sperm and egg

During double fertilization, what is made when a sperm cell combines with the polar nuclei?
- the embryo
- a pollen grain
- a seed
- the endosperm
Double fertilization consists of two events. In one of these events, a sperm cell combines with polar nuclei to create the endosperm.

Which correctly demonstrates how form follows function in seed dispersal?
- a milkweed seed is attached to a piece of fluff to carry it on the wind
- an apple seed is hidden deep inside the apple core
- a berry seed falls on a patch of soil and germinates
- a bean seed is planted in a garden and is eaten by a bird
Form follows function means that the way a seed is shaped gives clues to how the plant disperses that seed.

A certain plant makes brightly colored fruits that have a sweet taste. Which is the most likely way this plant's seeds are dispersed?
- the wind
- animals
- water
- force
Many fruits contain seeds that are able to withstand a digestive tract.

What is the ultimate outcome of double fertilization?
- a pollen tube
- polar nuclei
- a seed
- a pollen grain
Double fertilization results in an embryo and endosperm that are enclosed in a seed coat.
