Flashcards

Sexual reproduction in plants

Offspring inherit genetic traits from both parents, leading to genetic variation.

Vegetative propagation

A method of reproduction without the involvement of male and female gametes, resulting in genetically identical offspring.

Asexual reproduction in plants

Producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Clonal plants

A type of asexual reproduction where offspring are exact replicas of the parent plant, sharing the same genetic makeup.

Study Notes

Reproduction in Plants

The result of sexual reproduction in plants is the production of seeds, fruits, and flowers, allowing for genetic variation and diversity.
Vegetative propagation, also known as a type of asexual reproduction, does not involve the production and fusion of male and female gametes.
The defining characteristic of asexual reproduction in plants is the production of offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
Asexual reproduction results in clonal plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant, allowing for rapid colonization and adaptation.
Fragmentation, a form of asexual reproduction, involves the development of a new individual from a fragment of the parent plant, allowing for rapid spread and colonization.
