Question

Many seeds can reproduce sexually or asexually. In what ways does sexual reproduction benefit a seed plant over asexual reproduction?

A) Genetic diversity reduces the risk of local extinction should environmental conditions change.

B) Dormant seeds suspend growth until conditions are conducive for the embryo to emerge.

C) Seeds make it possible to disperse offspring to locations that are distant from the parent plant.

D) Offspring inherit a complete genome from a parent that is thriving in the current enviroment.

*There is more than one answer. Not sure how many answers there are.

Explanation / Answer

sexual reproduction benefit a seed plant over asexual reproduction by exhibiting genetic diversity reduces the risk of local extinction should environmental conditions change and seeds make it possible to disperse offspring to locations that are distant from the parent plant. Options A and C are correct.

Sexual reproduction enable the seeds to withstand environmental changes and as well as the spread or dispersion of offsprings and this is mainly due recombination between homologous chromosomes during sexyal reproduction.
