write advantages of vegetative propagation over sexual reproduction in plant
Answers
Answer:
vegetative propagation is basically asexual reproduction which is effective means of reproducing in an environment which is stable because it require less energy and way more faster than sexual reproduction which require pollination and production of gametes.
Answer:
• Vegetative reproduction is the asexual reproduction in the plants, in which new plants can be produced using the vegetative parts of the plants, like tubers, rhizome, or any other vegetative cell of the plant.
Explanation:
• There are various advantages of vegetative propagules over sexual reproduction in plants, the major advantages include the following:
• The plants produced by using the process of vegetative propagation are structurally and genetically similar to their parents. They are called clones. So, the useful traits of the parent plant will also be copied in the offsprings.
• But in sexual reproduction, crossing over takes place and that's why new traits are formed and there are chances that the desirable traits would be lost in the process of sexual reproduction.
• The offsprings produced with the help of vegetative propagation are produced faster.
• Because it is formed by using only one parent and does not require a long process of pollination and seed formation and its dispersal for the growth of new plants.
• Vegetative propagation is especially beneficial for horticulture and other agro related activities because they can grow plants much rapidly and can induce disered features in the offsprings.
• For example, various varieties of seedless oranges, watermelon, bananas, etc are produced by the help of vegetative propagation.
