Question

Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Asexual reproduction does not require the investment required to produce a flower, attract pollinators, or find a means of seed dispersal. Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because all of the genetic material comes from one parent. 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. What are some examples of asexual reproduction in plants? Select the three that apply.
