Statement I: Insects and animals play a crucial role in the pollination of flowers and the dispersal of seeds, assisting plants in their reproductive processes.

Statement II: To attract pollinators and seed dispersers, plants provide rewards such as pollen, nectar, and juicy, nutritious fruits.

Both statement I and statement II are correct .

The correct answer is Option (3) - Both statement I and statement II are correct .

Both statements are true. Plants have evolved mechanisms to attract insects and animals to assist in their reproduction. They rely on insects, birds, bats, and other animals for pollination, which is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organs to the female reproductive organs of a flower.

This process allows for fertilization and the production of seeds. Additionally, plants offer rewards such as pollen and nectar to attract pollinators, providing them with a food source.

Similarly, plants produce juicy and nutritious fruits to entice animals to eat them and disperse their seeds through their feces or by dropping them in different locations, increasing the chances of seed germination and the establishment of new plants.

So,when it comes to seed dispersal, it involves the movement of seeds away from the parent plant to new locations, which is typically done by animals that consume fruits. These animals then transport the seeds either internally (through digestion) or externally (by carrying them) and deposit them elsewhere, aiding in the dispersal and germination of seeds, ultimately contributing to the plant's reproductive success.

So, while pollinators assist in pollination by transferring pollen grains, it's animals that typically aid in seed dispersal by consuming fruits and transporting seeds to new locations. Both processes are vital for plant reproduction and population spread.
