Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plants with wind-dispersed seeds, such as dandelions, are usually distributed randomly. Animals, such as elephants, that travel in groups exhibit clumped distribution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The seeds which are dispersed by air are small, light and possess hair like structures or wings.
Detailed explanation-3: -Seed dispersal is the movement, spread or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus.
