Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Seeds need the proper temperature, moisture, air, and light conditions to germinate. All seeds have optimal temperature ranges for germination (Table 1).
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the seed is in a dormant stage, chloroplasts are not present in seeds and therefore cannot synthesize the materials needed for photosynthesis to occur. Therefore, there is a need for a stored nutrition compartment in seeds which is the endosperm.
