Question

Cutting and grafting are natural means of reproduction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. In cutting, only one plant is involved. A stem can be cut and developed into new plants when planted in moist soil. Primary meristem is required.
2. In Grafting, two or more plants are involved. Grafting involves joining the parts of two different plants in such a way that they unite and continue their growth as a single plant.
3. Vegetative propagation is an asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs in its leaves, roots and stem. This can occur through fragmentation and regeneration of specific vegetative parts of plants.
4. Cutting and grafting fall under artificial vegetative propagation. So, these are not natural mode of reproduction.

So the above statement is false.
