Question

Offsets are produced by (1) parthenocarpy (2) parthenogenesis (3) mitotic divisions (4) meiotic divisions

Answer 1

Offsets is a form of asexual reproduction where the meristematic cells of a plant divide and differentiate to form new daughter plants. This happens through mitotic division. The result of such a differentiation is that, as there is no crossing over of genetic material, the daughter cells produced are exactly identical to the parent plant.

Examples: Tulips, Lillies
