Summary Introduction

To describe:

The ways in which plants reproduce asexually and the way in which these mechanisms help to disperse offsprings.

Introduction:

Reproduction is a way of maintaining the continuity of race. The reproduction can be asexual or sexual. The sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes. In plants, the male gametes are produced by stamens and female gametes is produced by ovary. Higher animals cannot reproduce asexually but in plants, there are two ways of reproduction. They are asexual mode of reproduction and the sexual mode of reproduction.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

In plants, asexual reproduction takes place by fragmentation, grafting, layering, budding, and some other processes like apomixes. Apomixis is a method in which there is formation of seeds without undergoing through the process of fertilization. They are also able to reproduce by vegetative reproduction a method of reproduction in which a plant grows in a horizontal manner and it forms roots in an upright position.

The sugar can be reproduced by the fragmentation. In this process, the part of the stem is germinated into the soil, which later on gives rise to whole new plant. The grafting involves the joining of the stock of one plant and scion of another plant. The Bryophyllum have buds on its leaves, which can give rise to new plant.

Conclusion

The two ways in which the plants reproduce asexually are by the method of apomixis and the other method is by vegetative reproduction.
