Answer :

Answer: The botanist should use sexual reproduction to make the new plants because asexual reproduction will only produce spider plant offspring with the same types of traits as the parents.

Explanation:

OSENIGO

Assuming that the botanist already has spider plants with larger flowers in their nursery, in order to develop a large number of the plant based on the same traits, asexual reproduction method should be used.

Asexual reproduction method is preferred because:

  • the daughter plants come out with exactly the same traits as the parent plant,
  • large number of plants can be produced at once

Sexual reproduction leads to variation such that daughter plants will not have exactly the same traits as their parents. The number of plants that can be produced sexually is also limited.
