Answers:
In order:
- vegetative propagation
- budding
- regeneration
- pollination
Explanation:
Reproduction occurs in all living organisms; it involves the production of an organism from a parent organism. The number of organisms acting as parents or genetic donors influences how the type of reproduction is classified - for instance, unicellular organisms create copies of themselves, via binary fission. Asexual reproduction requires only one parent, while sexual reproduction requires genetic input from both parents in order to occur.
Asexual reproduction:
- vegetative propagation
- a small cutting or shoot propagates from or is removed from the parent plant; this produces clones
- budding
- part of the parent organism splits off creating two identical organisms
- regeneration: the ability of an organism to regrow lost parts through cell division in special cells.
Sexual reproduction:
- pollination
- requires the activity of a vector to carry the pollen to the flower containing the stigma style and ovum. Offspring is genetically distinct.
