Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction in Plants
- A characteristic of asexual reproduction in plants is the production of offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
- Asexual reproduction in plants involves the production of new individuals from vegetative parts of the parent plant, such as leaves, stems, or roots.
Sexual Reproduction in Plants
- The result of sexual reproduction in plants is the production of seeds, which contain genetic information from two parents.
Forms of Asexual Reproduction
- Vegetative propagation, such as runners, rhizomes, and tubers, is a form of asexual reproduction in plants.
- Agamospermy is a form of asexual reproduction in plants, where seeds are produced without fertilization by pollen.
Agamospermy
- Agamospermy is a type of asexual reproduction in plants, where seeds are produced without fertilization by pollen, resulting in offspring genetically identical to the parent plant.
Vegetative Reproduction
- Vegetative reproduction in plants involves the growth of new plants from vegetative parts of the parent plant, such as leaves, stems, or roots.
