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 ALL that apply.
