Question

How one can reproduce a plant that has lost the ability to produce seeds?

Answer 1

1. Reproduction is the process by which a living organism generates its new progeny. It can be sexual or asexual.
2. Sexual reproduction involves two parents of the opposite sex whose gametes are fused to form the new progeny. For example, in plants, sexual reproduction results in the formation of seeds through gamete formation.
3. Asexual reproduction involves single parents that do not produce any gametes. Organisms can reproduce asexually by budding, fragmentation, vegetative propagation and regeneration.
4. Plants that have lost their ability to reproduce sexually can form their new progeny by vegetative propagation by using their parts like roots, stems and leaves.
5. For example, Bryophyllum reproduces asexually by using its leaves.
