Question

how reproduction takes place in plants

Answer 1

Hey mate!

Here's your answer:

Firstly, Pollen is carried from a male part to a female part by wind, insects or other animals (a process called pollination), where it releases male gametes that fertilize the female gametes in the ovules. The ovules develop into seeds from which new plants will grow.

Reproduction means producing offspring for the survival of the species. Plant reproductionis the production of new individuals oroffspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexualreproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, genetically identical to the parent plants and each other, except when mutationsoccur. In seed plants, the offspring can be packaged in a protective seed, which is used as an agent of dispersal.

Reproduction in which male and female gametes do not fuse, as they do in sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction may occur through budding, fragmentation, fission,spore formation and vegetative propagation. Plants have two main types of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced that are genetically identical clonesof the parent individual. Vegetativereproduction involves a vegetative piece of the original plant (budding, tillering, etc.) and is distinguished from apomixis, which is a replacement for sexual reproduction, and in some cases involves seeds. Apomixis occurs in many plant species and also in some non-plant organisms. For apomixis and similar processes in non-plant organisms, seeparthenogenesis.

Natural vegetative reproduction is mostly aprocess found in herbaceous and woodyperennial plants, and typically involves structural modifications of the stem or rootsand in a few species leaves. Most plant species that employ vegetative reproduction do so as a means to perennialize the plants, allowing them to survive from one season to the next and often facilitating their expansion in size. A plant that persists in a location through vegetative reproduction of individuals constitutes a clonal colony; a single ramet, or apparent individual, of a clonal colony is genetically identical to all others in the same colony. The distance that a plant can move during vegetative reproduction is limited, though some plants can produce ramets from branching rhizomes or stolons that cover a wide area, often in only a few growing seasons. In a sense, this process is not one ofreproduction but one of survival and expansion of biomass of the individual. When an individual organism increases in size via cell multiplication and remains intact, the process is called vegetative growth. However, in vegetative reproduction, the new plants that result are new individuals in almost every respect except genetic. A major disadvantage to vegetative reproduction, is the transmission of pathogens from parent to offspring; it is uncommon for pathogens to be transmitted from the plant to its seeds (in sexual reproduction or in apomixis), though there are occasions when it occurs
