Best answer
  • In angiosperms sexual reproduction necessarily involves meiosis and fertilization, ultimately resulting in seed formation.
  • Whereas a method of formation of a new plant without involving meiosis and fertilization is called asexual reproduction. 
  • In asexual reproduction, only mitotic divisions are involved and hence the offsprings are genetically similar to the parent plant. 
  • In sexual reproduction, meiotic division results in variations and hence the offsprings show genetic variations.
