Document Summary
Formation of off-shoots that form new clonal trees. Fragmentation: long vining plant, you can have separation at a certain point, splitting into two separate plants with same genetic makeup. Sexual reproduction: gametophytes produce gametes, they themselves are not the gametes, so they can produce more than 1 gamete per gametophytes (ex.
