The term, ____, describes the process of propagating plants from seed.

• A. Budding
• B. Separation
• C. Division
• D. Sexual propagation

Answer: (D)

Propagating plants from seed is sexual propagation because seeds come from fertilization of ovules by pollen, combining genetic material from two parent plants. This creates offspring with genetic variation, unlike the other methods which reproduce plants vegetatively. Budding, separation, and division are all forms of asexual propagation that use plant parts other than seeds and produce clones of the parent. So, using seeds to propagate is categorized as sexual propagation.
