5 Questions
Explain the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants.
Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in genetically different offspring. Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring without the fusion of gametes.
What is the difference between vegetative reproduction and agamospermy in plants?
Vegetative reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the parent plant developing into a new plant. Agamospermy is a type of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without fertilization.
What are the different methods of asexual reproduction in plants?
Asexual reproduction in plants may occur through budding, fragmentation, spore formation, regeneration, and vegetative propagation.
What is the significance of mutations in the context of asexual reproduction in plants?
Mutations can result in genetic variation among clonal plants, as they are genetically identical to the parent plant and each other unless mutations occur.
How do clonal plants differ from sexually reproduced plants?
Clonal plants are genetically identical to the parent plant and each other, while sexually reproduced plants are genetically different from their parents.
