Answer 1

Answer:

The plants raised by vegetative propagation will come to flowering and fruiting much earlier than the one obtained from the seed. They might bear at the very first year after planting. Where seeds are planted, the fruiting and flowering period is protracted and one is never certain of obtaining a good type from a seedling unless careful selection has been practiced. The plants propagated by vegetative means retain the good qualities of their mother without any deterioration.

Answer 2

Answer:

Both the reason and assertion are true but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.

Explanation:

• Vegetative reproduction is a type of asexual plant reproduction in which a new plant develops from a cutting, fragment, or other specialised reproductive structure (also known as a vegetative propagule).
• In vascular plants, the vegetative propagation structures are the roots, stems, leaves, and nodes.
• It is possible to artificially or naturally reproduce plants.
• By use of roots, underground stems, subaerial stems, aerial shoots, leaves, and bulbils, natural vegetative multiplication is accomplished.
• By using certain vegetative components including root tubers, corms, and rhizome portions, artificial vegetative propagation can be accomplished.
• Plants that reproduce vegetatively also skip the immature seedling stage and get to the mature stage sooner.
• For the production of commercial plants, this can help to save a lot of time and money.

Thus, the reason is not the correct explanation for the given assertion.
