Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction in plants?
Correct Answer: Genetic diversity
  • Step 1: Understand that sexual reproduction involves two parent plants.
  • Step 2: Know that these parents contribute different genetic material (DNA).
  • Step 3: Realize that when their genes combine, they create offspring with unique traits.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this genetic diversity helps plants adapt to new or changing environments.
  • Step 5: Conclude that having varied traits increases the chances of survival for the species.
