Question

Which of the following sentence is true for vegetative propagation?

• A. It enables the production of genetic variation
• B. It is an ancient practice
• C. It is a means of producing large population of genetically identical individuals
• D. It produces disease and pest-free progeny

Answer 1

The correct option is C It is a means of producing large population of genetically identical individuals

Vegetative propagation produces a large population of genetically identical individuals. 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. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent and there will be no genetic variation.
