Plants Angiosperms can reproduce sexually and asexually. Flowers function in sexual reproduction to increase the likelihood that pollen is transferred to another plant of the same species. Seeds are then produced inside fruit. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity New gene combinations from independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
Asexual reproduction gives offspring similar to parents.
The vegetative part of the plant grows and separates. Rhizomes, tubers and corms are stems that reproduce asexually, also roots with suckers or runners. Alternation of generations means plants have multicellular haploid and multicellular diploid forms. Angiosperm sporophyte is dominant. Gametophyte is dependent on sporophyte.
