Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A seed is a form of ____ reproduction.
A
sexual
B
asexual
C
simple
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The product of sexual reproduction are seeds. Seeds produced through fertilization contain genetic material from both parents. As a result, the offspring are not genetically identical to either of the parent plants. This genetic diversity can help them survive if the environment changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -WITHIN flowering plants (angiosperms), reproduction through seeds occurs by sexual and surprisingly, by asexual pathways. The former generates variation, while asexual seed reproduction (apomixis) produces genetically identical progeny.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is B False Seeds are formed as a result of asexual reproduction. Q. In asexual reproduction, plants reproduce without seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two major types of sexual reproduction are syngamy and conjugation. Syngamy refers to the fusion of haploid sex cells resulting in the formation of a diploid zygote. Thus, in essence, syngamy refers to fertilization. It is the most common type of reproduction in multicellular sexual populations, including humans.
