Question

A potato plant can reproduce asexually so that one potato can often give rise to many other potatoes. Strawberry plants can reproduce sexually.A potato plant puts a large amount of its energy into growing a tuber, which is the part that humans eat. The tuber can grow large and provide energy for the plant during the winter, or it can be used to grow new potato plants. A strawberry plant, on the other hand, puts much of its energy into growing flowers to attract insects that aid in pollination. After fertilization, the strawberry plant must then also grow seeds as well as fruit to attract animals that disperse the seeds.Based on this information, the asexually reproducing potato plant most likely devotes _______ to reproduction than the sexually reproducing strawberry plant.
*
more energy
fewer spores
less energy
more seeds

Answer 1

is bot right?

Answer 2

more energy

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct. The potato plant puts a large amount of its energy into growing a tuber, which is its form of asexual reproduction, while the strawberry plant puts more energy into producing flowers for sexual reproduction and then has to put additional energy into growing seeds and fruit to disperse the seeds.
