Explanation:
Plant reproduction comes in two types: sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction is similar to human reproduction, in which male pollen and female ovarian germ cells fuse into a new organism that inherits the genes of both parents. The sexually reproductive part of a plant is the flower. Asexual reproduction involves vegetative reproduction through stems, roots, and leaves. Essentially, the parent plant regenerates itself by using one of its parts (roots, stems, or leaves).
Both sexual and asexual reproduction methods have their own advantages. In sexual reproduction, the newly formed plant is a combination of genes, giving it an advantage in adapting to changing environments. It can also avoid the transmission of certain diseases, as some genes are dominant and others recessive. Asexual reproduction is faster and perhaps the only way of reproducing in species that do not bear flowers. Since asexual reproduction is essentially the cloning of the parent plant, farmers can ensure that there is no genetic anomaly by selecting a healthy plant for reproduction.
