Question

Why do gardeners avoid growing plants vegetatively?

• A. There are increased chances of having a diseased plant.
• B. Neither $A\text{nor}B$.
• C. Both $A\text{and}B$.
• D. There is increased competition of resources in the same area.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both $A\text{and}B$.

Plants grown vegetatively are obtained from only one parent. If the parent has a disease, then the new plant will also have the disease.

Plants grown vegetatively grow near each other, which restricts the growth of the new plants as there is competition due to the lack of resources in the same area.

Thus, both the statements are correct.
