Write a short response to this question. Which reproduction method is better for creating new plants? Give an example of a situation where sexual reproduction would be the best method to use. Give an example of a situation where asexual reproduction would be the best method to use.

Some plants can produce seeds without fertilization. Either the ovule or part of the ovary, which is diploid in nature, gives rise to a new seed. This method of reproduction is known as apomixis. An advantage of asexual reproduction is that the resulting plant will reach maturity faster.
