Multiple Choice

This method of reproduction involves combining a pollen grain with the ovule to form a seed to germinate.

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

• Plants do not reproduce this way

Multiple Choice

This method of reproduction involves duplicating one plant from a part of their leave, stem, root, or tissue culture.

• Sexual Reproduction

• Asexual Reproduction

• Plants do not reproduce this way

Multiple Choice

This method of propagation is when a stem containing the node is cut from the plant, and placed in water and soil to grow roots.

• Cuttings

• Layering

• Separation & Division

• Grafting

• Micropropagation

Multiple Choice

This method of propagation is when the branching roots of one plant are pulled apart into multiple plants.

• Cuttings

• Layering

• Separation & Division
