Some plants can reproduce through two different propagation methods. A cutting from the parent plant can be transplanted into soil and produce an identical copy of the plant. Alternatively, the plant’s flowers can be pollinated and the offspring can be grown from seed. Which method would be produced by mitosis and which method is produced by meiosis?

Cutting from parent plant - mitosis

Pollination of flower and seed production - meiosis

Explanation:

Mitosis involves the division of vegetative cells while meiosis involves the division of sex cells.

A cutting from the parent plant is a vegetative cell and hence, this method of propagation is produced by mitosis.

Pollination of flowers involves the transfer of pollen grains (male gamete) from the anther of a flower to the ovule (the female gamete) of the stigma of the same or another flower. The production of male and female gamete requires a division of the sex cells by meiosis. Hence, this method is produced by meiosis.

A. Always point in the direction the energy is going.

Explanation:

I am sorry if this is not the correct answer, but I'm pretty sure the arrows represent directions but it doesn't always show where the energy is coming from.
