This term in Primus Biology we have been studying reproduction in flowering plants. We have spoken about the structure of a flower and the processes of pollination, fertilisation and seed dispersal. In this practical we were investigating the different adaptation of seeds, specifically wind dispersed seeds. Each group had to change an aspect of the seed (mass, wing length or wing width) and see how this affects the time spent in the air. This directly relates to the distance a wind dispersed seed may travel, which improves the species chance of survival and reduces competition for resources within the species!
