What is the response of plant roots to gravity?

• They grow upward

• They grow sideways

• They grow downward

Which of the following is a characteristic of flowering plants?

• They grow only in water

• They do not reproduce

• They produce seeds

What happens during fertilization in flowering plants?

• Seeds are dispersed

• Pollen is transferred to the stigma

• Seeds are produced

• Roots grow downward

What is seed dispersal?

• The germination of seeds

• The response of roots to gravity

• The process of seeds being spread away from the parent plant

• The transfer of pollen to the stigma
