What parts of plants can grow?
You probably know that plants can grow from seeds. But you might be surprised to learn
that other parts of plants can grow and produce a new plant.
Procedure
1. Carefully examine the photos of
vegetative reproduction shown in your
textbook.
2. Create a data chart in your Science
Journal to record your observations.
Identify which part of the plant (leaf,
stem, etc.) would be used to grow a
new plant.
Analyze and Conclude
1. Explain How is the vegetative reproduction you observed a type of asexual
reproduction?
2. Infer how farmers or gardeners might use vegetative reproduction.
