Chapter 1.5 Asexual Reproduction in Plants

1. What is a “meristem”?

2. What is their role in the asexual reproduction of plants?

3. What is “cloning”?
NAME: ______________________________

4. Describe how new plants can form from the roots of previous plants.

5. What are “runners”?

6. Describe the process of “layering”?

7. With the aid of a diagram, describe the process of “grafting” (fig. 1.38 pg 39).

8. What is “tissue culture”?

9. What is one advantage of tissue culture?

After winter has thawed, the first flowers of early __________ (spring / summer) appear. But these plants have not grown from
seeds, they have reproduced from ____________ (rhizomes /bulbs). Bulbs enable plants to reproduce asexually. That is
____________ (with/without) producing gametes. Bulbs are known as perenating organs. They allow plants to survive
in______________(favourable/adverse) conditions and then to grow quickly when the time is right. The swollen rhizomes of irises
have a similar function, but asexual reproduction does not rely solely on perenating organs. This Liverwort can reproduce asexually
via gemmae. Gemmae are small discs of green tissue that grow inside special caps. When mature, they break off from the parent
plant often due to the action of rain drops. They scatter away from the parent plant and will eventually grow into a new
gammetophyte plants. Plants like this bryophyllum can also reproduce asexually. Miniature plantlets develop at the edges of its
leaves, in time these will drop off and develop into independent plants. Mature strawberry plants are able to establish new plantlets
on the end of long ____________ (rhizomes / runners). Gardeners are able to cultivate plants asexually via ____________
(cuttings/corns). This is possible because of stems cells like these are able to trigger the formation of root cells and will start to grow
roots. The ability of many plants to reproduce asexually helps commercial growers, because it’s quicker and more reliable than
growing plants from seeds. It also ensures growers that quality is consistent. Asexual reproduction is all about exploiting a good
niche. In such circumstances the value of sexual reproduction, with its results and diversity may actually weaken the dominan ce of
an established group. But, in a changing environment ____________(uniformity / diversity) means survival.
