How do plants reproduce asexually

This process does not involve seeds

What are the modified plant parts that vegetative reproduction use

It includes the formation of rhizomes, tubers, bulbs, shoots or suckers, runners or stolon, plantlets, buds, and corms

It does not involve flowers, pollination, or seeds

What are examples of natural vegetative reproduction

These are horizontal above ground stems that grow along the ground and may develop adventitious roots along with the new flowering plant stems

What are examples of runners/stolons

These are horizontal underground stems that can develop into new parts

They grow sideways into the soil and have a shoot

What are examples of Rhizomes

This is a process of reproduction where a new steam grows from the base of an old one which forms a new plant

What are examples of suckers

These are underground buds that have fleshy leaves extending from them

They are good food storage units for future developing plants

What are examples of bulbs

These are swollen and enlarged fleshy underground steams

What are examples of tubers

What do you call the swollen roots that some tubers have

They consists of one or more internodes with at least one growing point

What are examples of plants that have corms

Give examples of artificial vegetative reproduction

This takes place when a plant grows and develops from the roots, stems, and leaves of the parent plant

A bud or shoot from one plant is inserted into a cleft or under the bark on the stem of a closely relative variety

What is the rooted portion called

What do you call the bud or shoot being grafted

It is a branch or a bud cut from a cultivated variety with the required characteristics such as the color of the flower and quality of fruit

The mature stem and leaves are cut and placed in water or planted in most earth

They propagate through spores

They are reproductive cells capable of developing into a new organism without fusion with another reproductive cell

They are agents of asexual reproduction

In these plants, reproduction through spores is charaxterized by alternating generations of asexually and sexually reproducing through individuals

It gives rise to the gametophyte generation

What is another word for sporophyte

What is another word for gametophyte

Where are spores more usually found

They are soft and spongy plants that typically grow to only a few inches tall

They tend to grow together in clumps

They reproduce through spores

They produce spore casings on the underside of their leaves

What are leaves of ferns called

They produce tiny spores

Whata re the clusters of sporangia called
