When you take a cutting from a plant, stick it into the ground and it grows into a new
plant, it does so by mitotic division. What type of reproduction is this, sexual or
asexual, and are the plants genetically identical to one another? Explain your answer.
plant, it does so by mitotic division. What type of reproduction is this, sexual or
asexual, and are the plants genetically identical to one another? Explain your answer.
-
It is A sexual and yes the plants are genetically identical to one another. Because asexual reproduction or mitotic division is just the plants own cells dividing and replicating one another so therefore they will all be identical to one another unless a mutation happens.
-
Asexual, meaning that the plants didn't have sexual intercourse to form another plant. It will be identical because it came directly from the other plant, not two plants coming together forming a new one.
-
asexual.
