Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Plants can reproduce sexually and asexually. If one offspring is produced sexually while the other is produced asexually, what will only the sexually produced offspring have?

A	beneficial genetic traits
B	a complete set of traits
C	both inherited and acquired traits
D	a new combination of traits

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -And did you know that plants can also reproduce asexually? Plants are living organisms. That means they need to reproduce in order to pass on their genes to future generations. Plants can create offspring through either sexual or asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually (or vegetatively), and the balance between the two reproductive modes may vary widely between and within species. Extensive clonal growth may affect the evolution of life history traits in many ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many organisms can reproduce sexually as well as asexually. Aphids, slime molds, sea anemones, some species of starfish (by fragmentation), and many plants are examples.
