Which of the following statements about seed plant reproduction is FALSE? Group of answer choices Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Self-pollination cannot occur in dioecious plants. Self-fertilization produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Outcrossing promotes genetic diversity. Some plants have self-incompatibility because the self-pollen does not grow through the style.

Which of the following statements about plant reproduction is FALSE? Monoecious plants have male and female flowers on the same plant. Self-pollination cannot occur in dioecious plants. Self-fertilization promotes more genetic diversity than outcrossing. Outcrossing promotes genetic diversity. Some plants have self-incompatibility because the self-pollen does not grow through the style.

A plant with flowers that are strictly designed for self-fertilization does not undergo sexual reproduction True, a plant that only reproduces through self-fertilization will result in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. True, this is an example of asexual reproduction because the male and female gametes are produced by the same plant. False, this is sexual reproduction because occasionally a self-fertilizing plant is fertilized by another plant. False, this is sexual reproduction because the plant undergoes meiosis to produce sperm and eggs. The offspring will not be genetically identical.

Which of the following is a true statement about sexual vs. asexual reproduction? In asexual reproduction, offspring are produced by fertilization without meiosis. Sexual reproduction requires that parents be diploid. Asexual reproduction produces only haploid offspring. Asexual reproduction, but not sexual reproduction, is characteristic of plants and fungi. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit 50% of their genes to each of their offspring.
