AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -All organisms multiply or reproduce their own kind. In plants there are two modes of reproduction, asexual and sexual. There are several methods of asexual reproduction such as fragmentation, budding, spore formation and vegetative propagation. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants have two ways of reproduction; sexual and asexual. . Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes. This results in genetically different offspring. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Not every plant grows from a seed. Some plants, like ferns and mosses, grow from spores. Other plants use asexual vegetative reproduction and grow new plants from rhizomes or tubers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The given statement is false. Asexual reproduction is seen in prokaryotes and some eukaryotes in the form of budding, binary fission, and so on. Asexual reproduction results in an exact copy of the parent organism, and the new cell is formed from a part or cleavage of the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual plant propagation methods produce new plants from vegetative parts of the original plant, such as the leaves, stems and roots. These methods are generally referred to as vegetative propagation. Many plants can reproduce this way naturally, but vegetative propagation can also be artificially induced.
