The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.
The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.
Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.
The things with winter and overnight freeze are that this change of the weather can seriously harm the crop and do irreversible damage.
To prevent this, farmers use some methods.
One is the usage of heaters, not allowing the freeze to set.
Another one is to spray the crop with water before the predicted overnight freeze. When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds upon the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures.
A plant reaches its adult stage
when it is ready to reproduce.
The statement “All plants
reproduce several times before dying” is true. The answer is letter A. Plants
can reproduce several times as long as it has the gametes needed for
reproduction.
