Mo.4 - L5a: How Do Plant Types Differ?

Mo4-L5a How Do Plant Types Differ?

KEY CONCEPTS:
1. How do asexual and sexual reproduction in plants
compare and contrast?
2. What are the differences between life cycles of Let’s Begin
seedless and seed plants?

Asexual Reproduction
Vocabulary A-Z

Let us learn some vocabulary Asexual reproduction occurs when only one parent
organism or part of that organism produces a new
organism.

The new organism is genetically identical to the parent.
Pollination
the process that occurs when pollen
grains land on a female
reproductive structure
of a plant that is the
same species as the
pollen grains.

Sexual Reproduction
During sexual reproduction, fertilization occurs when
a sperm and an egg join, combining their genetic
Dormancy material.
a period of no growth.
Sexual reproduction produces individuals that have a
different genetic makeup than the parent organism or
organisms.

Both seedless plants and seed plants can reproduce
sexually.
