What do you think the right answer is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b or c maybe?
OpenStudy (aaronq):
asexual reproduction "is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes and almost never changes the number of chromosomes." (courtesy of google)
so they dont include gametes (sex cells, e.g. eggs), can you eliminate some of the options now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so eggs is not it

and b c and d are left
OpenStudy (aaronq):
sperm are also sex cells
OpenStudy (aaronq):
are seeds?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um i think no
OpenStudy (aaronq):
you're right, by the time two sex cells fuse from a plant (egg and pollen), they're actually an organism (a plant embryo).
So it looks like you have your answer
