Wild strawberry (Fragaria vescaFragaria\ vescaFragaria vesca) is a wild flowering plant that can reproduce both sexually by producing seeds and asexually by growing runners (stolons).
Explain why sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction for a plant species when environmental conditions are changing.
Wild strawberry runners contain stored carbohydrates, including reducing sugars such as glucose. Describe how a student could compare the concentration of reducing sugars in the runners of wild strawberry plants from two different habitats.
Describe a method a student could use to estimate the total population size of wild strawberry plants in a meadow area of 150 m2150\text{ m}^2150 m2.
