## The Benefits of Genetic Variation from Sexual Reproduction in Plants

### Sexual reproduction in plants provides genetic variation. What are the benefits of this genetic variation?

- **If a population is presented with a rapid change in the environment or a chronic new pathogen or herbivore, then genetic variability would increase the chances of survival of the population.**

- Sexual reproduction produces less genetic variations which enables a population to co-evolve with other organisms in its ecosystem.

- Sexual reproduction reduces genetic variations which enables a population to take advantage of different resources in its ecosystem enabling it to exist in the same niche as others that use the original resources.

- Sexual reproduction will always produce a more fit organism.

Imagine a rocky slope in the Santa Ynez Mountains behind Santa Barbara that is covered purple sage (Salvia leucophylla) and white sage (Salvia apiana). Competition among plants is intense, and research has shown that individual plants compete for space via allelopathy. Imagine that some of the plants (the "mutants") experience a genetic mutation that renders the essential oils in their leaves much less volatile or much less abundant than the essential oils in the plants around them. The most likely outcome for these mutant plants is:
Many plants can be produced as genetically identical clones by asexual reproduction. Although advantageous in some ways, such genetically plants can be a disadvantage when ________. -a disease is present in the environment -the environment is stable -mates are in short supply -pollinators are absent
Course: Botany In stable populations, ones that are neither increasing nor decreasing in abundance (e.g., there are a million trees now and there will be a million trees a thousand years from now), about how many of a plant’s seeds survive and grow to adulthood, being able to replace it when it dies? If during the plant’s lifetime it produces 100,000 seeds, how many do not survive, do not grow, and cannot replace it when it dies. (Hint: Do not think of humans, as we are an increasing population, not a stable one. Almost all our children survive, but that is not true of any other species.) Answer and explain briefly.
Q- You are studying the growth of a particular species of plant and you notice that as time passes, your plants’ root: shoot ratios consistently decrease. In this system, is the limiting resource an above-ground resource, or a below-ground (soil) resource? A- Above ground; because the plants are allocating more resources to root growth B- Above ground; because the plants are allocating more resources to shoot growth C- Below ground; because the plants are allocating more resources to root growth D- Below ground; because the plants are allocating more resources to shoot growth
Doug Schemske is a biologist who studies plants from around the world. Doug and his research team carry out experiments with the plant species Mouse-ear Cress, or Arabidopsis thaliana. They like this species because it is easy to grow in both the lab and field. Arabidopsis is very small and lives for just one year. It grows across most of the globe and in a wide range of latitudes and climates. Arabidopsis is also able to pollinate itself and produce many seeds, making it possible for researchers to grow many individuals to use in their experiments. Doug chose Arabidopsis populations in Scandinavia and the Mediterranean for his research on local adaptation because those two locations have very different climates. The populations may have adapted to have the highest survival and reproduction based on the climate of their home location. To deal with sudden freezes and cold winters in Scandinavia, plants may have evolved freeze tolerance traits, which produces chemicals that act like…
x re.learn.edgenuity.com/player/ ce - SC5181 A n The small population size will experience more mutations that will lead to greater genetic diversity. O The population will ultimately become extinct as there is too little genetic diversity to maintain it. O The seeds will change to adapt to new conditions, allowing the flower to survive any changes that occur. O The flowers will attract new pollinators, which will increase the chances the plants will survive. Mark this and return O A 000 On a remote island in the Pacific, a species of flower has been affected by a plant virus.
