Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction
- Anemone of the sea is an animal of the cnidarian family that can reproduce asexually
- It can reproduce by a method called "scissiparity" when the environment is stable
- Other plants reproduce by rhizomes and tubers (e.g., potatoes)
- This type of reproduction allows plants to quickly colonize an area.
Stolons in Strawberries
- Strawberries reproduce using stolons
- A new plant develops at the end of a stolon and grows into the soil, forming a clone of the parent plant
- Stolons are visible on the surface of the soil between strawberry plants
- This method of reproduction allows strawberries to rapidly increase their numbers.
