Question

Which of the following statements is true about vegetative propagation?

• A. Offspring of vegetative propogation produce less yield than the parent plants.
• B. Offsprings are genetic clones of their parent plants
• C. Vegetative reproduction produces more variation in the offspring
• D. Genetic instability is common in vegetative propogation.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Offsprings are genetic clones of their parent plants

In the process of asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved and there is no fusion of the male and the female gamete. As a result, the offsprings so produced are morphologically and genetically similar to their parents and are thus, called clones.
