Question

A disadvantage of natural vegetative propagation is that it

a) lacks dispersal mechanisms for propagation
b) does not involve production of gametes & fertilization.
c) quickly spread and colonize the entire area with similar plants.
d) produces daughter plants quickly which start yielding products.
​

Answer 1

 A major disadvantage ofvegetative propagation is that it prevents species genetic diversity which can lead to reductions in crop yields. The plants are genetically identical and are all, therefore, susceptible to pathogenic plant viruses, bacteria and fungi that can wipe out entire crops.

Answer 2

does not involve production of gamates
