Respuesta :

The most likely dispersion pattern of the plants that grow from these seeds is random.

Explanation:

In a habitat, the pattern in which the seeds of the plants gets dispersed can be classified into three types They are random, uniform and clumped. The pattern of distribution of the seeds helps in determining the relation that exists between different members and their spaces in an ecosystem.  

The dispersed seeds have an equal space of distribution and hence it is called as uniform distribution. In a random distribution the seeds get to disperse and grow wherever they fall. This happens because of wind. When wind blows they take the seeds with them and when they stop they will make the seeds to fall wherever they stop blowing. this is an example of random dispersion of seeds.

The most likely dispersion pattern of the plants that grow from seeds carried by the wind is RANDOM.

  • Seed dispersal by winds is an adaptive mechanism by which many plant species can disperse their seeds, which float away from the parent plant.

  • This evolutionary strategy (seed dispersal) allows plants to spread their seeds from a wide area and thus avoid competing with other plants for limited resources.

  • The seeds of the different types of plants such as orchids, dandelions, hornbeam, puya, etc., are dispersed by the wind.

  • Seed dispersal via wind is random because this dispersal strategy depends on the direction of the winds.

In conclusion, the most likely dispersion pattern of the plants that grow from seeds carried by the wind is RANDOM.
