Question

Which of the following statements is true for vegetative propagation?

• A. Offsprings of vegetative propagation have less yield than the parent plants
• B. Offsprings are genetic clones of the parent plants
• C. Vegetative propagation produces more variations in the offspring
• D. Genetic instability is common in vegetative propagation

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Offsprings are genetic clones of the parent plants

Vegetative propagation is an asexual mode of reproduction where only one parent is involved. This ensures 100% genetic copying in the offspring and there is no chance of variation or genetic instability.
