- Reproductive Strategies of Plants.
- Sexual Reproduction
- Usually involves two parents.
- Less rapid than asexual and produces offspring that are genetically different.
- Diploid body cells produce haploid sex cells or Gametes
- The fusion of haploid gametes is always involved.
- Diploid body cells produce haploid sex cells or Gametes
- Less rapid than asexual and produces offspring that are genetically different.
- Advantages
- There is an increase ion genetic variety
- This enables species to adapt to environmental change.
- It allows the development of a resistant stage in the life cycle.
- Enables the species to withstand adverse conditions
- The formation of spores, seeds, and larvae enables the dispersal of offspring
- This reduces intra specific competition.
- Enables genetic variety to develop as required.
- Untitled
- Enables genetic variety to develop as required.
- This reduces intra specific competition.
- There is an increase ion genetic variety
- Disadvantages
- A much slower process than asexual reproduction.
- Usually involves two parents.
- A-Sexual Reproduction
- Involves only one parent
- The rapid production of large numbers of offspring.
- Have a genetically identical composition
- Called Clones.
- Have a genetically identical composition
- The rapid production of large numbers of offspring.
- Examples of A-Sexual Reproduction
- Binary Fission
- Budding
- Bulbs e.g. Daffodil.
- Runners e.g. Strawberries
- Tubers e.g. Potato
- Involves only one parent
- Sexual Reproduction
