Answer 2

Answer:

Both the assertion and the reason are correct.

Explanation:

In asexual reproduction, the whole body of the parent acts as a reproductive unit or can be in a single cell or a bud. The offsprings are genetically similar to their parents.

• Vegetative propagation or vegetative reproduction is the process of multiplication, in which a new individual develops from a portion of the fragment of the plant body.
• A new individual arises from any vegetative part of the parent plant (root, stem, leaf, etc.) through mitosis. The offspring possesses the same characteristics as the parent plant from which it was sampled.

As the vegetative propagation and the asexual reproduction are the same in plants, hence the assertion and reason both are correct.
