Study Notes

Reproduction in Plants

Sexual reproduction in plants results in offspring that are genetically different from either parent.
Asexual reproduction in plants differs from sexual reproduction in that it produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
Asexual reproduction involves the production of new individuals without the fusion of gametes (sex cells).

Forms of Asexual Reproduction in Plants

Vegetative propagation involves the production of a vegetative piece of the parent plant, such as a stem, leaf, or root, which grows into a new individual.
Other forms of asexual reproduction in plants include budding, fragmentation, and agamospermy.

Comparison of Sexual and Asexual Reproduction in Plants

The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants is the genetic diversity of the offspring: sexual reproduction produces genetically diverse offspring, while asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring.
