Textbook Question
Chapter 32, Problem 13RQ
Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction?
- Cuttings taken from an adult plant show increased resistance to diseases
- Grafted plants can more successfully endure drought
- When cuttings or buds are taken from an adult plant or plant parts, the resulting plant will grow into an adult faster than a seedling
- Asexual reproduction takes advantage of a more diverse gene pool.

Students have asked these similar questions
Why is fertilization in flowering plants called double fertilization?
two cells in the ovule are fertilized, the egg and the endosperm mother cell
it takes the efforts of two flowers (male and female) to produce seeds
two ovules must be fertilized to form a single seed
one pollen grain fertilizes two ovules
it takes two pollen grains to fertilize a single ovule
When sunflowers bloom they create an inflorescence which;
Does not produce seeds
is actually a cluster of hundreds of flowers
Does not reproduce sexually
Dioecious plants:
have two kinds of flowers that open at different times on the same plant
are able to reproduce without flowers
have flowers male and female, with these occurring on different plants
have perfect flowers (containing all 4 whorls)

- Sexual vs. Asexual Reproduction: Which statement below is not true about asexual reproduction in plants. Less energy needed for reproduction as it is strictly mitosis, no sexual organs or gametes need to be produced. O If the parent plant with it's genome did well in a location then a clone will do equally as well in the same location. Reproduction is seasonal and will only take place once a year. O Vegetative structures may be used to go through dormancy periods (bulbs, tubers,etc).

Seeds of a fruit is the embryo in the Plant Kingdom. Sexual reproduction is the production of embryo while asexual reproduction entails to skip the development of embryo in the process. Zygote is the product of sexual reproduction that undergo months of development before the mother give birth to a young and alive offspring like humans. Embryonic development in both plant and animal means to undergo different stages that will give birth to a young and living organism.arrow_forward
- Pine pollen grains have air bladders (wings) whereas flowering plant pollen grains do not. The reason for this is; Flowering plant pollen grains are not multicellular like pine pollen grains Pines are wind pollinated The wings on pine pollen grains are needed to form the pollen tube The wings on pine pollen grains are needed to form the sperm nucleusarrow_forwardAn alternation of generation life cycle in plants is advantageous because: each generation is morphologically similar. it protects reproductive structures. the gametes fuse in open water. it is haploid-dominant.arrow_forwardWhich of the following referes to the principle of alternation of generations in plants? A life cycle that includes a unicellular haploid stage. A life cycle that includes a multicellular haploid stage. The differences between a tree and a seed. The need for external pollinators. Gemete-producing sporophytes.arrow_forward
- In regards to the life cycle of the flowering plants, one place meiosis takes place is; In the fully developed pollen grain In the growing seed In the calyx In the ovulearrow_forwardWhat happens to the female parts of the flower after fertilisation? The ovules become seeds and the rest becomes the fruit The ovules become fruit and the rest becomes the seeds The ovules become seeds and the rest becomes the food storearrow_forwardWhich option is TRUE regarding the life cycle of a flowering plant? gametophyte and sporophyte are codominant sporophyte is dominant gametophyte is dominant gametophyte is initially dominant and then the sporophyte becomes dominant sporophyte initially is dominant and then the gametophyte becomes dominantarrow_forward
- The formation of a tough wall of sporopollenin around the male gametophyte leads to the production of what end product? -Ovules -Eggs -Anthers -Stamens -Pollenarrow_forwardDuring double fertilization, one sperm will unite with the egg, forming a zygote. As mentioned in the lecture, a generative cell divides to form two sperm. How is the second sperm used during the process of double fertilization? 00 00 It fertilizes the flower by landing directly on the stigma, which is the sticky surface found above a flower's style and ovary. This depends on the type of plant. Land plants will allocate the sperm that is not united with the egg to the formation of different tissues through mitosis and cytokinesis. It forms a triploid cell by fusing with polar nuclei. This cell then divides and develops endosperm tissue. Since it was not the sperm to fuse with the polar nuclei, the sperm cell will degenerate.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding plants is not correct? * Diploid plants produce haploid spores by mitosis. Gametophytes are haploid. Flower is the reproductive organ in plants. All plants have a life cycle with alternation of generations.arrow_forward
