Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary method of seed dispersal for dandelions?
Correct Answer: Wind dispersal
  • Step 1: Dandelions produce flowers that turn into seed heads.
  • Step 2: Each seed is attached to a fluffy structure called a pappus.
  • Step 3: When the seeds are ready, the seed head dries out.
  • Step 4: Wind blows the seed head, causing the seeds to detach.
  • Step 5: The lightweight seeds, with their pappus, are carried away by the wind.
