What is budding? |
Budding is a small axillary, or terminal protuberance on a plant, containing the rudimentry foliage (lead bud), the rudimentary inflorescne (flower bud), or both (mixed bud. It is an asexual reproduction method. |
|
|
What is under ground stemming, and what are some examples of plants that use it? |
Buds form underground and later detach from the parent plant Examples: Rhizomes (ferns), Corms (crocus (cone looking plant)), and stem tubers (potatoes) It is an asexual reproduction method. |
|
|
Above ground stemming |
New stems and root develop on plant stem It is an asexual reproduction method. |
|
|
What is grafting in plants? |
Grafing involves joining structures from two or more plants, thus producing new vairietys and allow for selecting favourible characteristics. Normally a twig section (scion) of one plant is join to the shoot (root stock) of another. It is an asexual reproduction method. |
|
|
How does plant cutting reproduction occur? |
A section of a parent plant is cut off, then can become its own new plant if hormones are present to promote root growth. It is an asexual reproduction method. |
|
|
Name the parts of a flower. |
|
|
|
Define pollination in one sentence. |
The movement of pollen from the anther to the stigma |
|
|
Can plants pollinate themselves? If so does it result in a clone of the parent plant? |
Plants rarely self pollinate, but can do so. It results in limited variation due to the small gene pool availible. Usually however, one plant recieves pollen from other plants in a process known as cross-pollination |
|
|
What is self pollination? |
Where pollen is transfered with the same flower or plant. This doesn't allow for genetic change, but ensures the development of fertile seeds. Many plants utilise this as a last resort if cross fertilisation doesn't occur. |
|
|
What is cross pollination? |
Cross pollination involves the transfer of pollen from one plant another and usuallu involves an active Vector (like an insect or a bee) or a transporting medium like wind. |
