Question

What is vegetative propagation? State two advantages and two disadvantages of this method.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vegetative propagation is the method which uses the vegetative parts of the plants for the cultivation of plants. 

ADVANTAGES

1.The advantages of this method are that the genetically identical offsprings are produced. Therefore, the advantageous traits can be preserved.

2.This method helps because there is no need of the two parents. Only one parent is required which eliminates the need for special mechanisms such as production of special whorls in the flower, pollination, etc.

DISADVANTAGES

1.vegetative propagation does not produce new varieties, leads to overcrowding around the parent plant, very little possibility of dispersal.

2.New caracter cannot be introduced.

Answer 2

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm\pink{Vegetative\:Propagation}}}}$

Vegetative propagation is a mode of asexual reproduction in which new plants are formed from roots, stems, leaves and buds of the individual vegetative parts of the plant. For example:- Eyes of potato.

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm\red{Advantages\:of\:Vegetative\:propagation}}}}$

• It is a rapid economical method.
• Offsprings are genetically identical and therefore useful traits can be preserved.

$\large{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm\purple{Disadvantages\:of\:Vegetative\:propagation}}}}$

• Since plants are genetically very similar, new characters can not be introduced.
• The disease of parent plant gets transferred to the offspring.
