NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Germination percentage is an estimate of the viability of a population of seeds. The equation to calculate germination percentage is: GP = seeds germinated/total seeds x 100 . The germination rate provides an measure of the time course of seed germination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seeds stored at room temperature, soaked without coat in distilled water for 72 hours gave the highest germination percentage of 96.67%.

Detailed explanation-3: -Calculating results To calculate germination percentage, divide the number of healthy seedlings by the total number of seeds in the test and multiply by 100. For example, if you started with 25 seeds and had 20 healthy sprouts, your germination rate would be 80%.

Detailed explanation-4: -Germination is the process of seeds developing into new plants. First, environmental conditions must trigger the seed to grow. Usually, this is determined by how deep the seed is planted, water availability, and temperature.
