In plants, as in animals, the end result of reproduction is the continuation of a given species, and the ability to reproduce is, therefore, rather conservative, or given to only moderate change, during evolution. Plants can reproduce and make new species that may or may not have the same genes as them Plant reproduction process either involves sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction, and both methods provide different genetic products Sexual plant reproduction is where the genetic material (dna) of male and female organs in plants combine to make a new offspring What is reproduction in plants Sexual and asexual reproduction discussed with the process, reproductive cycle, types, examples, and diagram
These are categorised into two types (i) asexual, and (ii) sexual in asexual reproduction plants can give rise to new plants without seeds, whereas in sexual reproduction, new plants are obtained from seeds. Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because no mixing of male and female gametes takes place Traditionally, these plants survive well under stable environmental conditions when compared with plants produced from sexual reproduction because they carry genes identical to those of their parents. Plant growth and reproduction learning objectives differentiate between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants explain alternation of generations in ferns and contrast that to the life cycle of angiosperms (flowering plants) Describe the structure and function of the flower and the fruit within the angiosperm life cycle.
Unlike animals, which almost exclusively reproduce sexually, plants have evolved diverse strategies to propagate, utilizing both sexual and asexual reproduction methods.
