What is the main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants?
What is the main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants?
- Sexual reproduction does not involve gametes, while asexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes.
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, resulting in genetically identical offspring, while asexual reproduction produces genetically different offspring without gamete fusion.
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, resulting in genetically different offspring, while asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring without gamete fusion. (correct)
- Asexual reproduction does not involve gametes, while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes.

Study Notes
Reproduction in Plants
- The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants is the involvement of gametes and fertilization: sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, whereas asexual reproduction does not.
Asexual Reproduction in Plants
- Asexual reproduction in plants differs from sexual reproduction in that it does not involve the fusion of gametes or fertilization.
- There are two fundamental forms of asexual reproduction in plants: vegetative reproduction and apomixis.
Vegetative Reproduction and Apomixis
- Vegetative reproduction involves the production of new plants from vegetative parts, such as leaves, stems, or roots.
- Apomixis involves the production of seeds without fertilization, resulting in offspring genetically identical to the parent plant.
Outcome of Asexual Reproduction
- The outcome of asexual reproduction in plants is the production of genetically identical offspring, which can result in the rapid colonization of an area.
