Question #3
Which of the following is an advantage of seed dispersal?
A. Avoids overcrowding and competition with parent plant
B. Increases soil erosion
C. Reduces genetic diversity
D. Competition between offspring

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Seed dispersal spreads seeds away from the parent plant, reducing competition for light, water, nutrients, and space. It also aids in colonization of new habitats and increases species distribution. Dispersal agents include wind, water, animals, and explosive mechanisms. Overcrowding would lead to resource limitation. Genetic diversity is promoted by cross-pollination, not directly by dispersal.
