Asexual/Vegetative Reproduction: Natural Methods

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Plants propagate asexually via budding stems, adventitious roots, runners, and apomixis — seed formation without fertilization — producing offspring identical to the parent.

Show

A strawberry's stolon roots at each node, producing a genetically identical new plant without any pollination step involved.

Watch for

Apomictic seeds look like ordinary sexual seeds but carry no new genetic combination, since no fertilization occurred to produce them.
