Sugarcane is vegetatively propagated in to 10 dauter plants. How many types of genetically similar plants are produced?
Answers
ANSWER
Vegetative propagation us a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the plant and it grows from parts of the parent plant.
Bryophyllum produces plantlets along the margins of its leaves. When they mature, they drop off and root in any suitable soil beneath.
Stem cuttings is the process of cutting of stem and cut part is used to propagate sugarcane and rose. Each set contains one or more buds. A cutting is a vegetative plant part which is severed from the parent plant in order to regenerate itself, thereby forming a whole new plant.
Ques. Sugarcane is vegetatively propagated in to 10 daughter plants.
Answer:
There is no combination or fusing of two separate cells in vegetative propagation as there is in sexual reproduction, hence there are no differences and the plants propagated vegetatively are usually identical to their parents. There is only one genetically similar plant is produced.
Explanation:
Propagation Sugarcane is vegetatively propagated by planting "setts," or sections of mature cane. Setts should be cut from mature canes that have been carefully picked. The ends of the canes are trimmed a few days before the cuttings are taken to weaken the cane's apical dominance and stimulate the breaking of buds.
The presence of meristematic cells in the nodes of plants such as sugarcane and ginger causes vegetative propagules to appear. The growth and development of tissues and organs in plants is controlled by these cells.
