Many plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. For example, rose bushes reproduce asexually when cuttings planted in the ground grow roots and become a new rose bush. They can also reproduce sexually when their flowers are pollinated. What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction in roses? Choose the correct answer. A. Roses can produce more offspring in sexual reproduction. B. Roses reproduce more quickly when reproducing sexually. C. Roses produced through sexual reproduction have more genetic variation.

Plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. a. Explain the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction in plants (not in other organisms). b. Explain the different ways in which a plant can reproduce asexually. c. Include examples of the different types of asexual reproduction. ( I expect you to have more than one example as your textbook devotes an entire section to this topic.)
