Question
Chapter 46.1, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The example of plant reproduction most similar to asexual reproduction in animals.
Concept introduction: Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which offspring are produced without the union of egg and sperm. So, offspring contain the genes from one parent only from which they have produced. Asexual reproduction in plant is important for indeterminate growth. The individual can reproduce asexually by fragmentation, fission, budding, and parthenogenesis.
