Multiple Choice

What are the main differences between asexual and sexual reproduction in plants?

• Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and produces identical offspring, while sexual reproduction involves two parents and produces genetically diverse offspring.

• Asexual reproduction requires pollination, while sexual reproduction does not.

• Sexual reproduction only occurs in non-flowering plants, while asexual reproduction only occurs in flowering plants.

• Asexual reproduction involves seed dispersal, while sexual reproduction does not.
