Strawbery plants are produced from runners. This means that they are clones of their parents.

Tomato plants are produced as a resut of sexual reproduction.

The tomato plant will display the most and the greatest variation since it’s of a result of sexual reproduction.The strawberries being a product of asexual reproduction has the disadvantages of producing variations and won’t adapt to changes in the environment since its qualities are genetically identical to its parent giving one product only.Whereas the tomatoes being a product of sexual reproduction has an advantage of a greater variation among the product/would adapt to changes quickly too.So it all depends on the way that they’re being produced which will determined their results.

(Asexual is just like cloning this means that a copy of it will be produced and there will be no difference)
