Multiple Choice

What is the main reason that reproduction in many flowers is still considered sexual reproduction, even if they can reproduce with themselves?

• Because gametes (sperm/egg) are involved

• Because only one parent is needed

• Because flowers do not have male and female parts

• It involves one parent and all genetic information comes from that parent.

• It requires fertilization between sperm and egg.

• It results in genetically different offspring.

Open Ended
