The different life cycles associated with angiosperms Flashcards
1
Q
what affects the genetic diversity of a plant species
A
frequency between sexual and asexual reproduction of plants
2
Q
how does genetic diversity vary based on asexual and sexual reproduction
A
Asexual reproduction results in alower genetic diversity
Sexual reproductionincreases genetic diversity
3
Q
why is genetic diversity good
A
Without constant genetic changes, plants are at risk of becoming extinct should environmental conditions change
4
Q
how does the rate population growth vary based on asexual and sexual reproduction
A
Asexual reproduction = faster increasesin population size
Sexual reproduction = slower increases in population size
