What modifications of cellular respiration might you find in dormant seeds?

During dormancy a seed respire up to a limited extent in order to fulfill the need for food or nutrient.

Explanation:

During the dormant seed stage, a plant seed modifies itself to respire in a restricted way so that it can maintain adequate supply of food or nutrient with in the endosperm (a layer which covers the seed).

It is the endosperm which carries out all specific functions related to cellular respiration during the dormancy period.

The evolution of molecular biology has made possible to establish a new classification of all organisms according to their DNA, and it's called phylogenetic classification. This classification group living beings according to their kinship it is established according to anatomical, and especially genetic, based on the similarity of genes between species.

This made it possible to discover kinship ties between species of which there is no suspicion of any morphological link between them, something which the old classification (the traditional classification) was incapable of doing (and this proves the importance of the DNA and genes in organisms classification.
