Advantages:

♦ Large number of plants obtained in a short interval

♦ Propagation of seedless plants is made possible

Disadvantages:

♦ No genetic variations, so less adaptability to the environment

♦ The disease of plants gets transferred to the off springs

Answer 2

vegetative propagation is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plant in which a new plant grows from a fragment of the parent plant or a speciliged reproductive structure many plants naturally reproduce this way but it can also induced artificially.

advantage of vegetative propagation -

the main advantage of vegetative propagation methods is that the new plants contain the genetic material of any one parent so they are essential clones of the parent plant.

some disadvantage of vegetative propagation is -

vegetative propagation includes overcrowding, the disease of parent plant is transferred to off spring I hope this will help you and don't forget to follow me thanks
