Question

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

Answer 1

Vegetative propagation is a type of reproduction in which several plants are capable of producing naturally through their roots, stems and leaves.

Advantages of vegetative propagation:

Plants not capable of producing sexually are produced by this method.

It is a fast and certain method to obtain plants with desired features.

Disadvantages of vegetative propagation:

There is no possibility for variation.

The new plant grows in the same area as the parent plant which leads to competition for resources.

Answer 2

HEY FRIEND HERE IS YOUR ANSWER...
••♪♪♥♪♪•••

The production of new plants without involving fertilization (mixing of male and female gametes) i.e by cutting a part of a plant and planting it so that it gives rise to a new individual, is known as Vegetative Propagation.
Vegetative Propagation can be performed by plants by their roots, stems , leaves etc.
It is a type of asexual reproduction.
ADVANTAGES:
♦It allows the new individual to already have a headstart as it is already a bit grown.

♦It would require comparatively less time to grow into a fully flourished plant than a seed.

DISADVANTAGES

♠ The plant would not variation, as it is genetically the same plant.
♠ Sometimes if the process of vegetative propagation happens naturally and the new plant grows right beside the actual plant, this may lead to a competition of oxygen,water and sunlight with each other.As a result both the plants may get damaged ...
