3.8 Asexual Reproduction

-Natural
EG Strawberry plant
-Develops sites stands-2nd stem
-where the 2nd stem touches the ground, the cells specialize into root tissue.
-therefore new stems with new leaves develop (so forms another plant)
-those plants are genetically identical.
-they are cloned

-Artificial 
-cut off a side stem off a plant
that is your "cutting"
-dip your cutting into "root powder" which contains plant hormones. this forms roots
-Take the plants and put it into soil, it will start to grow
-again this new plant is "cloned"
