Question

Why is vegetative propagation possible by leaves?

• A. It possesses dividing cells
• B. It possesses dead cells
• C. It possesses chlorophyll
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

It possesses dividing cells

Vegetative propagation is possible by leaves as the process is continued by differentiating leaf parenchyma, which is probably often phloem parenchyma or companion cells, the two of which are often indistinguishable, into new root and shoot apical meristems.

So the correct option is 'It possesses dividing cells'.
