explain with examples-different methods of asexual reproduction in plants
Answers
Asexual reproduction produces individuals that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Roots such as corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and stolon undergo vegetative reproduction. Some plants can produce seeds without fertilization via apomixis where the ovule or ovary gives rise to new seeds.Corn, papaya and cucumber produce unisexual flowers, whereas mustard, rose and petunia have bisexual flowers are examples.
Answer:
BINARY FISSION
eg:
Reproduction in bacteria
Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates).
FRAGEMENTATION
eg:
Spirogyra
Spirogyra reproduces by fragmentation. In this process the body of mother breaks down into fragments or pieces. Each fragment has an ability to reproduce itself.
Spore Formation
eg:
Spores are usually haploid and unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte. Under favourable conditions the spore can develop into a new organism using mitotic division, producing a multicellular gametophyte, which eventually goes on to produce gametes.
Budding
eg:
Yeast
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction. It is most commonly associated with bacteria and yeast, but some animal species reproduce via budding, too. A parent organism creates a bud from its own cells, which then form the basis of the offspring organism and develop into an organism resembling the parent.
