Chapter 11.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Whether self-pollination is considered asexual or sexual reproduction
Introduction:
Reproduction is the process of producing the young ones from the existing one; it enables a species to survive within an environment. There are mainly two modes through which an organism can reproduce; sexual and asexual mode.

The drooping, bell-like flower Aquilegia canadensis is adapted for cross-pollination. However, if the plant has not been pollinated previously, self-pollination can occur. However, if cross pollination occurs after self-pollination takes place, the pollen from cross pollination reaches the style before the pollen from self-pollination. Using course concepts and vocabulary 1) Provide a reasoning for this phenomenon. 2) Would this adaptation for reproduction be beneficial for the plant?
MAKE CONNECTIONS In seed plants, how might retaining the gametophyte within the sporophyteaffect embryo fitness? (See Concepts 17.5, 23.1, and 23.4 to review mutagens, mutations, and fitness.)
Suppose meiotic drive affects the pollen only and that 80% of the pollen grains from a heterozygote carry the A allele. Ovules are normal, and 50% of them carry the A allele. What fraction of offspring from a selfing heterozygote will be heterozygous?
