Vedclass · Answer

(A) Seed germination is a process that requires specific environmental conditions,primarily water,oxygen,and a suitable temperature. $A$. Mature seeds placed over wet cotton have access to moisture (water) and oxygen,which are essential for the metabolic reactivation of the embryo,leading to germination. $B$. Soaked seeds over dry cotton will lose their moisture to the dry environment,hindering the continuation of the germination process. $C$. Dry seeds over dry cotton lack the necessary water required to rehydrate the seed tissues and activate enzymes. $D$. Seeds soaked in $5\%$ picric acid are exposed to a toxic chemical that inhibits biological processes and kills the embryo,preventing germination.
