Objectives
At the
end of this
lesson, you should be able to:
1.
compare and contrast vegetative
propagation and
sexual reproduction making these points:
a. vegetative
reproduction results in new individuals by cell divisions while sexual
reproduction involves genetic recombination, fertilization and cell
divisions.
b. offspring
of a
plant produced by vegetative propagation are identical to each other
and the
parent plant while sexual reproduction results in genetically different
offspring.
2.
give examples
of plants that
reproduce
naturally by vegetative methods involving leaf, root and stem parts.
3.
diagram the process of meiosis and list
where
meiosis takes place in the plant.
4.
explain the significance of the process
of meiosis
in the production of gametes.
5.
identify points in the plant life cycle
below that
increase and decrease variation.
6.
identify the parts of a simple, perfect
flower,
such as a petunia, snapdragon, or gladiolus, and identify the part of
the fruit
or seed each flower part will develop into.
7.
describe the functions of showy petals
or sepals,
fruits, and pollen.
8.
describe the difference between monocot
and eudicot flower and leaf structure.
9.
examine various plants and determine
the
reproductive strategy for each:
monoecious vs. dioecious and perfect vs. imperfect.
10.
examine various flower types and
predict the
pollination agent.
11.
examine various fruit types and predict
the
dispersal agent.
