SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Flowers reproduce ____ through the type of reproduction called ____ ?
A
sexually, pollination
B
asexually, pollination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flowering plants reproduce sexually through a process called pollination. Flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. The anther is the part of the stamen that contains pollen. Pollen contains the male gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant reproduction is the production of plant offspring, which happens either sexually or asexually. Asexual reproduction produces a genetic clone of the original plant, whereas sexual reproduction occurs by the fusion of gametes, producing offspring that are genetically unique from the parent plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bisexual flowers – These flowers possess both male and female reproductive organs in the same flower. For example, Rose, Sunflower, Tulip, Hibiscus, Lily, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flowering plants, the dominant plant group, reproduce both by sexual and asexual means. Their distinguishing feature is that their reproductive organs are contained in flowers. Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves the production of separate male and female gametophytes that produce gametes.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is the value of sexual reproduction to plants? Sexual reproduction ensures diversity, new genes, and a new blueprint. If the bees like it, this color could become dominant in the future, and if they don’t, then this plant will become another casualty of natural selection.
