Answer:
New leaves appear on a tree in spring. - NO
An amoeba divides in half. - YES
A bean plant produces seeds in long pods. - YES
Pollen grains are released from a flower. - YES
A sea star produces a new arm after losing one to a predator. - NO
Explanation:
The appearance of new leaves has nothing to do with reproduction but rather regeneration.
An amoeba dividing in half is a form of reproduction known as asexual. Binary fission is a reproductive process in which an organism divides into two and each half develops into new independent organisms.
A bean plant producing seed is part of the reproductive process. After fertilization, the ovule of a flower becomes the seed. A seed in itself is a ripened fertilized ovule.
The release of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of a compatible flower in the same or different individuals plants is known as pollination. Pollination is a reproductive process similar to fertilization.
A sea star producing a new arm after losing one to a predator is a regeneration process rather than a reproductive process.
