What came first the seed or the tree !?

Question

Just Curious!!!!!!!!
anyone????

Answer 1

Nice question...the tree evolved so it could produce seeds as a necessity for asexual reproduction, some but not every plant developed more sophisticated means in which they could reproduce as a community.Trees can reproduce without seeds thru propagation and phagocytoses.

Answer 2

Seeds or spores were present in lots of plants long before trees evolved. Therefore the seed.
By the same reasoning eggs existed long before chickens. One day something which cannot be defined as exactly a chicken laid an egg from which hatched a slightly new form which could be exactly defined as a chicken.
Oi, John down there V whatever gave rise to the first seed to produce a definable tree was probably a bush!

Answer 3

The tree comes first.

We all know that trees grow from seeds. However, the ancestors of these trees used spores to reproduce, and beyond that, budding. There had to have been one plant which contained the mutation that changed its spores to seeds. This plant was the beginning of the "seed to tree" cycle, if you will. Only after it began its reproductive cycle did the first seeds come into existence.

Answer 4

The Tree

Answer 5

The seed fell from the sky thus became a tree. So seed. Hope this helps sincerely Meg.

Answer 6

I know that I'm gonna sound like a complete geek here...but oh well

Seeds have to come from trees, but trees have to grow from seeds, therefore:this is a vicious circle and unless a scientific study is undergone, there will be no answer.

Answer 7

Depends on how you define seed and tree.
Plants that first evolved structure were sphenopsids; they used silica for structure, not lignin like modern trees. Their smaller descendants are horsetail ferns and scouring rushes--just imagine them 100 feet tall and you've got "trees" from the time of dinosaurs.
These plants are "fern allies" and reproduce by spores, not seeds--so the tree came first, unlike the chicken-and-egg where the egg came first (reptiles and amphibians evolved eggs before there were chickens).

Answer 8

The seed comes first . if the seed would not have come there would have been no tree

Answer 9

neither.
the seed grows into a tree and then when the tree blooms, the fruit, flower or vegetable drops to the ground. the seed somehow escapes from the fruit or vegetable from rotting, hungry animals or other sources, and then plants itself into the soil, thus beginning the process of growth again. at least that's what i learned on sesame street LOL

Answer 10

Seed.
