Question

Seed dormancy is associated with:

Options

• hard seed coat

• immature embryo

• presence of germination inhibitors

• all of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

Seed dormancy is associated with a hard seed coat that prevents water uptake, an immature embryo that is not ready to germinate, and the presence of germination inhibitors that delay seed germination. These factors ensure seeds do not germinate under unfavorable conditions, allowing better survival chances for seedlings.
