How do you think plants reproduce?

Multiple Choice

Why can a plant reproduce by itself (sexually)?

• It has male and female gametes

• It is able to grow out a separate entity

• Nuh uh plants don't reproduce by themselves (sexually)

Multiple Choice

What is sexual reproduction? (Considering gametes, which are an organism's reproductive cells)

• Reproduction involving the seperation of both gametes

• Reproduction involving the fusion of male and female gametes

Multiple Choice

Sexual reproduction with a single parent in a plant does require an insect.

• False

• True

Multiple Choice

 What is the origin of this type of reproduction?

• It begins when pollen grains are transferred from a flower's anthers to its stigma, termed self-pollination if it occurs within the same flower.

• It begins when pollen grains are transferred from a flower's stigma to its anthers, termed pelf sollination if it occurs within the same flower.

Multiple Choice

What role does a bee play in a plants reproduction?

• The bee transports pollen (gamete) from one flower to another.

• The bee transports pollen (gamete) from one animal to another.

• The bee eats the pollen.

Multiple Choice

How do farmers profit from the sexual reproduction of plants?

• Farmers can select and self-pollinate animals with desirable traits

• Farmers can select and self-pollinate plants with desirable traits

• Farmers can select and self-pollinate plants with desirable traits

• Maurisio can select and self-pollinate plants with desirable traits

Multiple Choice

How can self-pollination be advantageous for the environment?

•  Self-pollination ensures reproductive success even when pollinators are scarce or absent.

•  Self-pollination ensures reproductive failure even when pollinators are scarce or absent.

• Self pollination ensures that only the most superior variety of a speices survive.

Multiple Choice

Why isn't sexual reproduction in plants with only one parent always categorized as asexual reproduction?

• This is because the plant still involves two distinct gametes (with different DNA), whereas

  asexual reproduction typically doesn't involve gametes.

• This is because the plant still involves two distinct gametes (with same DNA), whereas

  asexual reproduction typically doesn't involve gametes.

Multiple Choice

Self-pollination can’t lead to the accumulation of harmful mutations

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Does self pollination have any drawbacks?

• Nuh uh

• Yes

Multiple Choice

Self-pollination can limit gene flow and colonization potential.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Self-pollination can reduce a plant's population’s ability to adapt.

• Yes

• No
