Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants?

  • Sexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring, while asexual reproduction does not.
  • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes, while asexual reproduction does not. (correct)
  • Sexual reproduction results in clonal plants, while asexual reproduction results in genetically diverse offspring.
  • Sexual reproduction occurs through budding and fragmentation, while asexual reproduction occurs through spore formation.

    • Which type of reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from either parent?

  • Vegetative reproduction
  • Sexual reproduction (correct)
  • Agamospermy
  • Asexual reproduction

    • What is the distinguishing feature of apomixis compared to vegetative reproduction?

  • Apomixis is a replacement of sexual reproduction, while vegetative reproduction is not. (correct)
  • Apomixis results in clonal plants, while vegetative reproduction does not.
  • Apomixis involves seeds, while vegetative reproduction does not.
  • Apomixis occurs through spore formation, while vegetative reproduction occurs through budding.

    • Which form of asexual reproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant producing new individuals?
