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.
