What is a method and example of a plant which produces asexually?

Strawberry - growing new plants from their stem

  1. The parent strawberry plant sends out runners - fast-growing stems that grow out sideways, just above the ground

  2. The runners take root at various points (a short distance away) and new plants start to grow

Is there any genetic variation in the new strawberry plants?

How can we artificially clone plants?

Cuttings:

  1. Gardeners can take cuttings from good parent plants, and then plant them to produce genetically identical copies (clones) from the parent plant

  2. These plants can be reproduced quickly and cheaply
