Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With changing environments, plants are likely to produce genetically varied offspring in order to adapt to the new selection pressures. This can increase the likelihood of survival and successful reproduction in changing conditions. Vegetative reproduction, forming clones, and mitotic cell division may not provide enough genetic variation for successful adaptation to changing environments. Changing the environment itself is not a direct response by the plants but an indirect result of their interactions with the environment.
