Fragmentation: Asexual Reproduction in Plants

The video tutorial explores plant reproduction, focusing on asexual methods like fragmentation. Fragmentation allows plants to reproduce without gametes, creating genetically identical offspring. It occurs naturally in many plants and is used commercially for rapid propagation. While advantageous for quick reproduction, it lacks genetic diversity, posing risks during environmental changes.

Describe how environmental conditions can affect the process of fragmentation.
