Question

Vegetative propagated plants *
1 point
a) do not bear roots
(b) do not bear buds
(c) are genetically similar
(d) are genetically dissimilar

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Because vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction where plants are genetically similar.

Answer 2

The correct answer for the given question is plants are genetically similar (option c).

• Plants utilize vegetative propagation as one of their modes of asexual reproduction.
• Because it is an asexual process of cell division or reproduction, it only involves the development of offspring or buds from one parent.
• Because no gametes from other parents fuse, the bud obtained from the parent plant is genetically identical to the original plant.
• When a plant is genetically similar to its parent, it has all of the same characteristics as the parent plant.
• As a result, vegetatively propagated plants have a genetic similarity.
