Discuss advantages of vegetative reproduction.

Open in App
Solution

Vegetative reproduction has the following advantages.
(a) Non flowering plants can be reproduced through vegetative reproduction.
(b) In vegetative reproduction, the offspring resembles the parent plant in features and characteristics and conserves the quality of the parent plant.
(c) When compared to sexual reproduction in plants, this is a faster and more certain method of reproduction. In sexual reproduction, even after fertilization, the seed may not germinate due to unfavourable conditions, but in vegetative reproduction, a new plant is certainly produced as it grows from the part of the parent plant.
