Question

Which of the following statement is true regarding vegetative propagation?

• A. Vegetative propagation occurs naturally and artificially producing genetically identical plants
• B. Vegetative propagation occurs naturally and artificially producing genetically different plants
• C. Vegetative propagation occurs naturally producing genetically similar plants
• D. Vegetative propagation occurs artificially producing genetically similar plants

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vegetative propagation occurs naturally and artificially producing genetically identical plants

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent and they grow from parts of the parent plant. It can either occur naturally or be done artificially. The various types of vegetative propagation involve grafting, cutting, layering, etc.
