Chapter 38, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Asexual reproduction is a process that helps the plants to produce copies of themselves that are genetically identical. Asexual reproduction is considered as an extension of unspecified growth of plants in which there is indefinite growth of meristematic tissues and division and differentiation of parenchyma cells into specialized cells.

In most parts of the world, commercial potato crops are produced asexually by planting tubers. However, in some regions of the world, such as Southeast Asia and the Andes, some potatoes are grown from true seeds. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of growing potatoes from true seed.
Which of the following is an advantage of asexual reproduction? a. Cuttings taken from an adult plant show increased resistance to diseases. b. Grafted plants can more successfully endure drought. c. When cuttings or buds are taken from an adult plant or plant parts, the resulting plant will grow into an adult faster than a seedling. d. Asexual reproduction takes advantage of a more diverse gene pool.
While hiking through the sierra Nevada you encounter two different monkeyflowers
growing next to each other. One of them is tall and shrubby the other is shorter and
has produced a little less woody growth. You are not sure if these are the same
species or not. The way that you could tell for sure that they are the same species
is...?
D. If they pollinate each other naturally and produce a new, healthy, fertile plant
A. If they flower at different times
O E. If you take them to a lab and investigate whether the pollen from one monkeyflower can
fuse with the egg of the other
C. If they are both visited consistently by the same species of hummingbird
B. If they both live in areas next to each other consistently

- Under which of the following conditions would pollen from an S2S5 plant successfully pollinate an S1S5 flower? a. Using pollen from a carpelate flower to fertilize a staminate flower would be successful. b. If the plants used gametophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. c. If the plants used sporophytic self-incompatibility, half of the pollen would be successful. d.

- Under what conditions is it selectively advantageous for a plant to produce offspring identical to itself?arrow_forwardThere is a possibility that gene flow due to cross-pollination may occur between crop plants genetically modified to be herbicide resistant and neighboring wild plants. Why would this be a problem?arrow_forwardIn Iowa, a company called Team Corn works to ensure that fields of seed corn outcross so that hybrid vigor can be maintained. They do this by removing the staminate (that is, pollen-producing) flowers from the corn plants. In an attempt to put Team Corn out of business, you would like to develop genetically engineered corn plants that a. contain Z genes to prevent germination of pollen on the stigmatic surface. b. contain S genes to stop pollen tube growth during selffertilization. c. express B-type homeotic genes throughout developing flowers. d. express A-type homeotic genes throughout developing flowers.arrow_forward
- Plants reproduce through various methods. Explain which method helps to create genetic variability in crop plants? Moreover elaborate mechanisms promoting self or cross pollination.arrow_forwardSuppose that 100 pollen grains land on a stigma, and 50 mature seeds are formed in the fruit. What does this indicate about the pollination process and success? A) 100% success: 100 pollen grains grew to 50 ovules, two to each, and double fertilization occurred. B) 100% success: Only 50% of the pollen grains germinated, but each produced 2 sperms to complete double fertilization in 50 seeds. C) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 50 polar nuclei. D) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 100 polar nuclei. correct answer and explanation why please.arrow_forwardJames is preparing a plate of papaya (Carica papaya) for his sleepover friends. As he cuts open the papaya, they discover numbers of slime-covered seed inside, surrounded by soft flesh and soft skin. Before papaya fruits ripen and the seeds inside them mature, their flesh is bitter or sour. Only later does it become tasty.Discuss how this feature improves the odds for the plant's reproductive success and identify the possible agents to disperse the seeds.
