Which of the following sentences describing adaptations in mangroves is incorrect?Group of answer choicesSalt glands secrete salt on the leaf surface.Buttress roots to increase stability in soft mud.Seeds possess seed coats to prevent them from being suffocated by anoxia in the mud.Pneumatophores for absorbing oxygen from the air.
Solution
The incorrect sentence describing adaptations in mangroves is "Seeds possess seed coats to prevent them from being suffocated by anoxia in the mud." This is incorrect because the seed coats of mangrove seeds do not prevent suffocation by anoxia. Instead, mangrove seeds germinate while still attached to the parent tree (vivipary) to avoid the anoxic mud conditions. The other adaptations listed are correct.
