Question

In which of the following modes of reproduction new plants are produced without seeds?

• A. Asexual reproduction
• B. Sexual reproduction
• C. Vegetative propagation
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both A and C

• Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because no mixing of male and female gametes takes place
• Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual reproduction in new plant individuals without the production of seeds or spores. Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction.
• While in sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from the parent or parents.

Hence, option D is correct.
