How will trees grown from asexually and sexually compared to a parent plant?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the comparison of trees grown from two reproduction methods (asexual and sexual) in terms of their genetic relationship to the parent plant. It involves understanding genetic concepts of cloning versus fertilization.
Answer
D: Identical for replanted roots, different for pollen fertilization.
The final answer is D: Tree from Replanted Roots (identical), Tree from Pollen Fertilization (different).
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is D: Tree from Replanted Roots (identical), Tree from Pollen Fertilization (different).
More Information
Asexual reproduction like replanting roots results in offspring identical to the parent. Sexual reproduction through pollen involves genetic mixing, leading to different offspring.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming both methods result in identical offspring. It's important to remember that sexual reproduction always introduces genetic diversity.
