Here's why:
* Genetic Information: DNA contains the genetic instructions for the development and growth of an organism. This includes instructions for the reproductive process.
* Inheritance: DNA is passed down from parent to offspring, ensuring the continuity of the species.
* Control of Reproduction: The DNA within a seed carries the blueprint for the plant's reproductive organs, determining characteristics like flower structure, pollen production, and seed formation.
While other molecules play important roles in plant development and growth, DNA is the primary driver of reproduction.
