Most flowering plants can achieve pollination in several different ways. Those that produce pollen and carpels on the same plant may be self-pollinated, but they may also be cross-pollinated by insects or other pollinators. The cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) shown here is able to produce seed whether it is self- or cross-pollinated. Is one type of pollination better for reproductive success than the other?Global bee populations have been declining over the past decade. What impact might this have on the world's human population?

Name two kinds of asexual reproduction among plants. Explain two advantages of asexual reproduction over sexual reproduction. What is the primary drawback of asexual reproduction?
