Answers
Answer:
1)=Potatoes are mainly propagated by vegetative methods (cloning). Potato tubers have nodes or eyes from which the new growth begins. The new stems2 growing from each eye are called sprouts which giver rise to the new plant. Vegetative seed can be either a whole tuber or a cut tuber.
2)Leaves of Bryophyllum have adventitious buds which help in vegetative reproduction. The adventitious buds arise from the notches present at margins of leaves. These buds then grow into a new plant
3)Fungi reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing spores. Fragments of hyphae can grow new colonies. ... The most common mode of asexual reproduction is through the formation of asexual spores, which are produced by one parent only (through mitosis) and are genetically identical to that parent.
4)Fleshy fruits include berries, certain vegetables such as eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. Dried fruit: It is fruit from which the majority of the original water content has been removed either naturally, through sun drying, or through the use of specialized dryers or dehydrators
.
5)Sexual reproduction is the union of the pollen and egg, drawing from the genes of two parents to create a new, third individual. ... The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.
