Question

Which of the following is/are asexual modes of reproduction in plants?

I: Pollination

II: Vegetative propagation

III: Fragmentation

IV: Spore formation

• A. I and III
• B. II and III
• C. I, II, III and IV
• D. II, III and IV

Answer 1

The correct option is D

II, III and IV

Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes. Offspring generated this way are genetically identical to their parents. The types of asexual reproduction in plants are vegetative propagation, fragmentation and spore formation. Pollination is a phenomenon associated with sexual reproduction that involves the transfer of gametes. Hence choices II, III and IV are correct.
