Question

Which of the following does not hold true for the given image ?

• A. It is a vegetative propagule
• B. Sucker of Agave
• C. Capable of giving rise to new offspring
• D. Produced by single parent

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Sucker of Agave

The given image represents bulbs of Agave. The floral buds of Agave store food materials and develop into bulbils and bulbs. These bulbs are called vegetative propagules as they originate from a single parent plant without involving the fusion of gametes. On the onset of favourable conditions these propagules germinate vegetatively to produce new plants.
