Answer: Only the plants in container 2 will develop seeds.

Explanation:

Unlike container 1, the presence of a dried bee in container 2 indicate the action of a pollination agent i. e pollen grains has been exchanged with the Fast plants in container 2.

Thus, there is a high chance of flowering to occur in only the Fast plants of container 2 followed by seed production.
