do bigger seeds preduce bigger plants?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. A coconut is bigger than an acorn, but an oak tree is bigger than a palm.

Answer 2

Negative....the Redwood trees have very tiny seeds, 3-6mm in size, but are among the largest trees in the world.

Now, if you mean bigger seeds from a given plant, then the answer is possibly. If they are bigger due to them recieving more nutrients as they form, then they may be healthier, but might produce bigger plants, but they might just be more likely to survive. If, however, they are bigger due to some mutation, and that mutation carries over, then the resulting plant might be larger.

I think the life history (water, nutrients, sunlight, predators, diseases and so forth) of an individual plant would outweigh any effects of the size of the seed that produced it.

Answer 3

There's totally a verse in the Bible about this. Jesus says, consider the mustard seed, which is teeny-weeny but grows into a huge tree.

Fig seeds are wee, but the trees are really big. There's not much correlation between seed size and plant size.

Answer 4

bigger seeds produce bigger seedlings, this does not equal bigger adults, but means an increased likelihood of reaching adulthood
