Question

Offspring produced by vegetative propagation are

• A. haploid
• B. triploid
• C. genetically identical
• D. superior to offspring produced by sexual reproduction

Answer 1

The correct option is C genetically identical

Asexual reproduction or vegetative reproduction is when offspring are genetically identical to the parent. The offspring of the plants are clones of the original plant since no mixing of DNA occurs. The most common forms of vegetative propagation are grafting, cutting, layering, tuber, bulb or stolon formation, suckering and tissue culture.

So, the correct option is, 'genetically identical'.
