Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Defenses against herbivory could be relevant to pharmacy, as plants produce many secondary metabolites that can have medicinal properties. Adaptations related to wind dispersal of pollen are unlikely to have relevance to pharmacy or medicine. Sporophyte dominance is relevant to all biology, but may not have direct applicability to medicine or pharmacy.
