A potato is a tuber, a store of energy and a blueprint for the next seasons growth.
When a potato is beginning to grow eyes appear on the skin, if planted it is the eyes that grow into a new plant.
When the potato plant is fully grown it produces more potatoes ready for next seasons growth.

∙ 15y agoEach potato contains multiple "eyes." If you leave an unpeeled raw potato at room temperature long enough, the eyes will begin to sprout. Each sprout becomes a new plant that is genetially identical to the parent plant, and can produce many potatoes. To plant potatoes, you cut the mature raw potato into chunks, with at least one eye on each chunk. Plant the chunks.

∙ 7y agoTake a look at a whole, unpeeled potato and you will see very small spots on it. Some will have 'roots' or 'spikes'. These are not close together and they are called 'eyes'. If you cut these out with some underlying potato, a new entire plant will grow, This is a clone of the first one and this is asexual reproduction.

Why are new cells identical after budding?
Because budding is a method of asexual reproduction so no crossing over or independant assortment take place.
How is sexual and asexual alike?
sexual and asexual reproduction are not alike at all because of the following reasons sexual:any part of the plant other then the seeds takes place in the reproduction 2:plants produced by sexual reproduction take less to grow and bear fruit or flower then those produced from seeds. Yes, they are alike because they both produce babies that are like them. -girlyj
How can both asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction allow for the survival of a species?
Some organisms can use both types of reproduction. For example, when conditions are favorable, many plants and fungi will reproduce asexually. Doing so lets them spread quickly and take over an area. When the environment changes these organisms will switch to sexual reproduction. this strategy increase the chance that the species will survive.
What is the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction of the plants?
Sexual = new plants form seeds Asexual = new plants from cuttings or runners etc.
What must happen for sexual reproduction to take place in a flatworm?
In order for sexual reproduction to take place in a flatworm, two flatworms must come together and mate. When mating happens, the flatworms transfer sperm to each other.
What type of reproduction take place in panther?
asexual
Are male and female always required for reproduction to take place?
No they are only requiered in sexual reproduction, in asexual reproduction only one parent is needed.
What type of asexual reproduction is a Ivy plant?
it is asexual if you do not plant it from the root. eg. take a clipping and that will count as asexual.
Why are new cells identical after budding?
Because budding is a method of asexual reproduction so no crossing over or independant assortment take place.
Why is cloning a form of asexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction requires the mixture of DNAs from two different sources(i.e. you got a set of chromosomes from you mother and one from your father). Asexual reproduction involves a copying of just one source of DNA. In cloning, you take DNA from just one source and so it is asexual.

Differentiate sexual and asexual reproduction?
sexual reproduction have phermone signals which say yes or no to proceed and produce. Cell fusion via connections between hyphae (plasmogamy)Heterokaryogamy- intervening stage in which cells have haploid nuclei from two parents. Nuclear fusion (karyogamy) teh diploid phase following karyogamy is short lived and undergoes meiosis producing haploid spores.Asexual reproduction. Many fungi can reproduce asexually. Molds and yeasts are called imperfect fungi because they can only undergo asexual reproduction and NOT SEXUAL.
Does autumn sedum plant reproduce by leaves?
You can take cuttings of sedum and root them. This is asexual reproduction. However, sedum do have flowers and make seeds. This is sexual reproduction.
What are the benefits of growing plants with asexual reproduction?
dosen't take time to grow help to make anew plants
Why fungi imperfecti are so called short and simple?
The Dueteromycota is commonly called fungi imperfecti due to Sexual or asexual reproduction does not take place and only genetic recombination takes place so it is called fungi imperfecti

Which plant part is the place where reproduction takes place?
Reproduction in plants take place in flowers or mega- & microsprophylls.
