Is asking which answer choice is not a benefit of seed dormancy.
00:06
And in a process of elimination type question like this, i kind of wanted to paraphrase each of the answer choices so that we can go through them one by one.
00:14
So let's just look at the first one.
00:17
And it says that a benefit of seed dormancy might be increased chance of digestion by birds.
00:24
I can go ahead and say right off the bat that that is not advantageous.
00:31
The goal of seed germination isn't to be digested by birds.
00:36
It's to survive and grow into a plant capable of reproduction.
00:42
So right off the bat, the first one is not a benefit.
00:45
But just for clarification's sake, i'll go through the rest of them really quickly.
00:49
Seed dormancy accommodates for annual environmental variation.
00:54
That is true.
00:55
If conditions are not optimal, then it would be better for that seed to see...
