Question
Chapter 37, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether it is more likely that offspring of asexual reproduction develops in close proximity to or widely dispersed from the parent plant and to test the hypothesis.
Concept introduction: Asexual reproduction is a common mode of reproduction found in plants in which a single parent can give rise to the offspring. In such mode of reproduction, a part of the plant becomes separated from the parent plant and grows into a genetically identical plant through mitosis.

Seeds and pollen grains are key adaptations for life on land. These adaptations relate to reproductive success and survival advantages. The following questions require you to explain some of these adaptations.
A. Contrast sperm delivery in seedless plants with sperm delivery in seed plants. (5-6 sentence)
B. Discuss at least one feature of seed plants that contributed to their success on land in contrast with seedless plants. (2-3 sentences)
C. Flowering plants (Magnoliophyta) are the most successful of all plant groups in terms of their species diversity and ubiquity across habitat types. Climate warming is causing shifts in the timing of life history events for many species. Discuss how climate warming may influence reproductive strategies employed by flowering plants. (2-3 sentence)
Discuss the life cycle of the brown algae Laminaria, which shows the alternating of generations.
