Chapter 46.1, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The example of plant reproduction most similar to asexual reproduction in animals.
Concept introduction: Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which offspring are produced without the union of egg and sperm. So, offspring contain the genes from one parent only from which they have produced. Asexual reproduction in plant is important for indeterminate growth. The individual can reproduce asexually by fragmentation, fission, budding, and parthenogenesis.

- Discuss Concepts Baobab trees (Adansonia spp.) store water in their trunks (stems) and, although the trees have leaves, considerable photosynthesis also occurs in the trunks. Cacti too have water-storing, photosynthetic stems. In terms of evolutionary adaptation, what does this information suggest about cacti and baobabs?arrow_forwardwhat are the flaws ? Plants reproduce in a pattern known as alternation of generations. A haploid gametophyte produces gametes through mitosis. The gametes fuse to form a zygote, which then grows into a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte produces spores through meiosis, which then grow into a gametophyte and start the process over. Flowers are how angiosperms reproduce. A whorl of sepals (corolla) is at the base of the flower, followed by a whorl of petals (calyx). Inside the flower is a female organ known as a carpel and it is made of a stigma, style, and ovary. The male organ is the stamen and it is made of an anther and filament. Pollen being transferred to the style is known as pollination. Once the pollen travels down the style and reaches the egg, fertilization happens when sperm meets egg. Then, the fertilized egg and surrounding tissue develops into a seed. A seed is protected by a seed coat and contains endosperm and an embryo. The endosperm grows into a new plant while…arrow_forwardMAKE CONNECTIONS In seed plants, how might retaining the gametophyte within the sporophyteaffect embryo fitness?
