State
Self-pollination runs through meiosis, forming gametes with new allele combinations, and fertilization, forming a distinct zygote — the full sexual-reproduction sequence within one plant.
Show
True asexual reproduction produces offspring genetically identical to the parent, since no meiosis or gamete fusion occurs.
Watch for
"Self-pollination and asexual reproduction are the same" ignores that its offspring are never genetic copies of the parent.
