Select the true statements concerning seeds. seeds allow for dormancy until favorable conditions arise. the fruit provides nutrition to the developing embryo. the outer layer of the ovule dries and forms the seed coat. the seed stores all of the nutrition and water the embryo needs to germinate. seeds can resist conditions that would kill a live plant. seeds are key to wide dispersal of offspring.

The following are the true statements about  seeds;

seeds allow for dormancy until favorable conditions arise -

seeds can resist conditions that would kill a live plant – (such as fire in the case the seed has a hard testa (seed coat))

seeds are key to the wide dispersal of offspring

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

looks like the answer is     c     to me!
