Study Notes
Plant Reproduction
-
Asexual Reproduction
- Uses mitosis
- Offspring are identical clones of the parent
- Requires less energy
- Poorly adapted to changing conditions (bacteria/disease) example easy target
- Examples: strawberries (runners), dandelions (root fragments), ginger (rhizomes)
-
Sexual Reproduction
- Uses meiosis
- Energy intensive process
- Well adapted to changing conditions.
- Examples: flowers.
Flower Parts
- Receptacle: Attaches all parts
- Sepals: Bottom green parts.
- Petals: Not reproductive
- Stamen: Male reproductive site
- Anther, Filament (stalk)
- Pistil: Female reproductive site
- Stigma, Style, Ovary
