ovule with egg
fertilization
b
new individual
organisms
are produced
c
one parent
propagation from
plant cutting of
leaf, stem, or
root
d
compare the venn diagram of sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction in plants. where in the diagram would you add offspring different from parents?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze sexual reproduction

In sexual reproduction (represented by circle A), there are two parents. Pollen (with sperm) and ovule (with egg) are involved, and fertilization occurs. The combination of genetic material from two parents leads to offspring that are different from the parents.

Step2: Analyze asexual reproduction

In asexual reproduction (represented by circle C), there is one parent. Propagation from plant cutting (of leaf, stem, or root) occurs. Since there is only one parent, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

Step3: Determine the correct region

The characteristic “offspring different from parents” is specific to sexual reproduction. So it should be added in region A.

Answer:

A
