Q.Describe any three adaptations found in seeds or fruits for dispersal by wind.

Flowering plants show several distinct adaptations of their fruits or seeds that aid dispersal by wind.

One adaptation is a hair-like structure, often a feathery pappus, attached to the fruit -- seen in many members of the Asteraceae (sunflower family), where each small, single-seeded fruit (achene) carries a parachute-like tuft of hairs that lets it float and drift on air currents.

A second adaptation is the development of thin, papery wings on the fruit or seed, which increase surface area relative to weight and let the structure glide or spin as it falls, carrying it further from the parent plant -- seen in maple, Shorea (sal) and drumstick (Moringa). …

List three distinct structural strategies for reducing effective weight or increasing drag -- hairs/pappus, wings, and simple mi …
