Question

Many plants form clones that develop when shoots emerge from the same root system. What is an advantage of forming such clones?

A. provide a strong root system for a genetically altered shoot system

B. provide a strong start for new plants

C. allow for the production of seeds without fertilization

D. provide a period of dormancy until specific environmental cues signal regrowth

E. disperse offspring to new habitats

Correct answer gets 10 points. Thanks!

Answer 1

c

it catches my attention as the most logical answer.  hope its right

Answer 2

B.  Young plants can rely on well established and widespread root systems to bring nutrients to them until they have the means to gather sufficient nutrients for themselves.

Not:

A - they are clones = no altered genes

C - no seeds necessary

D - not relevant

E - the offspring are limited to contiguous habitats which are presumably also the same habitat as the parent plant.

Answer 3

I think the advantage  of  forming such clone that develop when shoots emerge from the same root system is to provide a strong start for new plant. This I think is an adaptive mechanism to the plant. The parental plant can provide additional support to its clone via conduction of water to the clone.

Answer 4

provide a strong start for new plants
