Answer:

New leaves appear on a tree in spring. - NO

An amoeba divides in half. - YES

A bean plant produces seeds in long pods. - YES

Pollen grains are released from a flower. - YES

A sea star produces a new arm after losing one to a predator.​ - NO

Step-by-step explanation:

The appearance of new leaves has nothing to do with reproduction but rather regeneration.

An amoeba dividing in half is a form of reproduction known as asexual. Binary fission is a reproductive process in which an organism divides into two and each half develops into new independent organisms.

A bean plant producing seed is part of the reproductive process. After fertilization, the ovule of a flower becomes the seed. A seed in itself is a ripened fertilized ovule.

The release of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of a compatible flower in the same or different individuals plants is known as pollination. Pollination is a reproductive process similar to fertilization.

A sea star producing a new arm after losing one to a predator is a regeneration process rather than a reproductive process.
