Detailed explanation-1: -What can be concluded about the offspring of this fern? The genetic material of the offspring of the Appalachian shoestring fern-is different for each individual offspring.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fungi, moss and fern all three reproduce by a common method of asexual reproduction which is called spore formation. Spore formation occurs in non-flowering plants. Spore are minute structures that are produced by the parent plant and are released into the air.
Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent.
