Question
Chapter 37, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether it is more likely that offspring of asexual reproduction develops in close proximity to or widely dispersed from the parent plant and to test the hypothesis.
Concept introduction: Asexual reproduction is a common mode of reproduction found in plants in which a single parent can give rise to the offspring. In such mode of reproduction, a part of the plant becomes separated from the parent plant and grows into a genetically identical plant through mitosis.

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?
Compare the Venn diagram of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in plants. Where in the diagram would you add identical to parent

C)c
D)d
Discuss the life cycle of the brown algae Laminaria, which shows the alternating of generations.

- In the space below, diagram generalized haplontic, diplontic, and alternation of generations life cycles. Make sure to indicate whether each stage in the life cycle is haploid or diploid, and unicellular or multicellular. Also write the stage's name (e.g., zygote, gametophyte, spore, etc.) if it has one. You don't need to draw the stages - e.g., for a zygote you can just write "zygote, unicellular, 2N". Also make sure to indicate where exactly in the life cycle meiosis takes place.
