NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants like pittosporum have sticky seeds that can be carried away by birds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Animals are capable of dispersing seeds by burying them, excreting them, or attaching seeds to their fur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples include mangoes, guavas, breadfruit, carob, and several fig species. In South Africa, a desert melon (Cucumis humifructus) participates in a symbiotic relationship with aardvarks-the animals eat the fruit for its water content and bury their own dung, which contains the seeds, near their burrows.

Detailed explanation-4: -In Spermatophyte plants, seed dispersal is the movement, spread or transport of seeds away from the parent plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fur and Feathers Some seeds and fruits are adapted to stick to the fur or feathers (or clothing!) of unsuspecting animals; when the animal finally frees itself of its clingy passenger, the seed/fruit is usually far away from where it started.
