Which of the following is a characteristic of biennial plants?

  1. Complete life cycle in one season

  2. Live for several years

  3. Flower and seed in the second year

  4. Require tropical temperatures

The correct answer is: Flower and seed in the second year

Biennial plants are known for their distinct growth cycle, which generally spans two growing seasons. In the first year, they typically develop a strong root system and foliage, but do not flower. It is in the second year that they complete their life cycle by flowering and producing seeds. This characteristic of flowering and seeding in the second year is what clearly defines biennials, differentiating them from annuals, which complete their life cycle in a single season, and perennials, which live for several years and can flower multiple times. The other choices do not accurately describe biennial plants; for instance, not all biennial plants necessarily require tropical temperatures, and the idea of living for several years is more associated with perennial plants.
