Q

Fill in the blank: The process of transferring pollen from one flower to another is called _____.

17
Q

What is asexual reproduction?

A

Reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes and results in offspring genetically identical to the parent.

18
Q

True or False: All plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually.

19
Q

What is the significance of cross-pollination?

A

It increases genetic diversity among plants.

20
Q

Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a method of seed dispersal? A) Wind B) Water C) Photosynthesis

A

C) Photosynthesis

21
Q

What is the role of the ovule in plant reproduction?

A

It develops into a seed after fertilization.

22
Q

Fill in the blank: The transfer of pollen from an anther to a stigma is known as _____.

23
Q

What is the main advantage of asexual reproduction?

A

It allows for rapid population increase.

24
Q

True or False: Self-pollination occurs when pollen from the same flower fertilizes its own ovules.

25
What is a clone in the context of plant reproduction?
A genetically identical plant produced asexually from a parent plant.
26
Multiple Choice: Which type of plant is most likely to reproduce using spores? A) Ferns B) Roses C) Oak Trees
A) Ferns
27
What is the advantage of seed dispersal?
It reduces competition among offspring and allows colonization of new areas.
28
Fill in the blank: The part of the flower that contains the ovules is called the _____.
ovary
29
True or False: Germination requires specific conditions such as water, warmth, and oxygen.
True
30
What is the main function of the stigma in a flower?
To receive pollen.
31
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a benefit of sexual reproduction in plants? A) Less genetic variation B) More genetic diversity C) Slower reproduction
B) More genetic diversity
