Summary Introduction
Introduction: Grafting is a horticulture practice in which two parts from two different plants are joined together to grow as a single plant containing the characteristic of both plants. In this process, scion (upper portion) of one plant grows on the stock (root part) of another plant.

a.) cross-pollination
b.) self-pollination
Based on this evidence, is it likely that burdock would reproduce as much if it didn’t have specially structured seeds?
(a) it is most likely that it would still reproduce, but the offspring would probably be located much closer together
(b) there is not enough information to speculate about how well burdock plants reproduce
(c) no, there wouldn’t be as much burdock without its special structures
(d) Yes, burdock would spread just as well regardless of the design of its seed pods
