Why vegetatively reproducing crop plants are best suited for obtaining hybrid vigour?

Solution

Formation of progeny or offsprings by the multiplication of vegetative part of the plant body is called vegetative propagation. The progeny obtained by this method, are genetically similar with one another. Thus, vegetative reproduction does not involve meiosis; hence, recombination and no loss of heterozygosity.
