Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Annual plants in the deserts of the southwestern part of the United States survive dry periods as seeds, which allows them to avoid drought. This means they do not require long growing seasons or extensive root systems. They also tend to bloom during the wet season, rather than the dry season, which rules out choice B. Finally, there is no information given indicating that these plants require several months of growth before flowering, so choice E can also be ruled out.
