Question

Distinguish between fragmentation &
Vegetative propagation​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference is

In fragmentation whole the plant divide into smaller fragments. these fragment gives rise to new plants.example, algae.

In vegetative propagation only a small part of the parent plant is fragmented. this small gives rise to new plant. Examples rose.

Explanation

Both fragmentation and vegetative reproduction are type of asexual reproduction in plants which gives new plants similar to the parent plant.

Fragmentation is vegetative reproduction, and can involve roots, rhizomes, stems, leaves, or plant lets that form on leaves. Cuttings, or fragments, are clones of the parent plant and will be genetically identical to them, unless mutations occur somewhere along the line. They can root fairly quickly and resume life as an independent organism soon after separation.

In sexual reproduction, parents of the same species with the same or similar phenotype (physical characteristics) will have offspring that can be similar or quite different from the parents because of the diversity resulting from genetic recombination.

Answer 2

Answer:

fragmentation::

in fragmentation whole the plant divide into smaller fragments. these fragment gives rise to new plants. ... but in vegetative propagation only a small part of the parent plant is fragmented. this small gives rise to new plant.

vegetative propagation::

Vegetative reproduction is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a specialized reproductive structure. Many plants naturally reproduce this way, but it can also be induced artificially.
