Fill in the Blank

Asexual propagation is replicating the same plant over and over, an example of this is potatoes, which are cuttings for previous plants. Because of a lack of ____________ the plants are susceptible to the same diseases. Meaning if one plant gets sick, it can wipe out the entire crop.

Fill in the Blank

A benefit of asexual propagation is that it is ________ to get an adult plant than starting from seed. For example, when can graft an apple tree branch onto a rootstock to get apples much ________ than starting from seed.
