Due to genetic recombination during gamete formation by meiosis and fusion of such gametes during fertilization.
The runners are basically clones since they are part of the same plant, but seeds have the traits of both plants so it can look different and vary - It is a mix of the two.
purebred plants
No, asexual reproduction in plants produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant. This means that the resulting plants will have the same characteristics and appearance as the parent plant.
Yes, by crossbreeding two plants with desired traits, a new plant can be produced with a combination of characteristics from the parent plants. This new plant may exhibit a mix of traits or potentially new traits not seen in the parent plants.
leaves
the plant can either ripen quickly or produde lots of flowers. Hope this helps! :)
Plants that use only one parent to reproduce are called asexual plants. These plants reproduce through methods such as fragmentation, budding, or producing offspring from a single parent plant. Examples include potato tubers and strawberry runners.
This helps to raise the offsprings chance of survival, at the same time ensuring the parent plants survival. If the seeds land close to the parent plant competition for resources such as water, sunlight, and nutrients will take place, weakening both the offspring plants as well as the parent plant.
Hybrid
im pretty sure its budding.
No. While the new plants will look similar to the parent plants, seeds are the result of assexual reproduction and assexual reproduction means that the offspring are all unique. In other words there will be variation in exactly the same way as children do not look exactly the same as their parents.
The same reason you don't look exactly like either one of your parents. The pollen from one plant with certain characteristics often will fertilize the egg of another plant with certain other characteristics and the resulting seed with have some of the characteristics of the "daddy" plant and some from the "mommy" plant.
