Question

Vegetative propagation does not involve the formation of new plants from old ________.

• A. Roots
• B. Stems
• C. Leaves
• D. Flowers

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Flowers

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. Almost all types of shoots and roots are capable of vegetative propagation, including, stems, basal shoots, tubers, rhizomes, stolons, corms, bulbs, and buds. In a few species, even leaves are involved in vegetative propagation. However, flowers are never involved in vegetative propagation.

So, the correct answer is "option D".
