Question

Write down the advantages and disadvantages of vegetative
reproduction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Advantages:

⇒The offsprings are genetically identical and therefore advantageous traits can be preserved.

⇒Only one parent is required which eliminates the need for special mechanisms such as pollination, etc.

Disadvantages:

   ⇒The plants gradually lose their vigour as there is no genetic variation. They are more prone to diseases that are specific to the species. This can result in the destruction of an entire crop.

   ⇒Since many plants are produced, it results in overcrowding and lack of nutrients

Answer 2

hey mate,

Advantages of vegetative reproduction

• Some of the plants such as bananas do not reproduce from seeds at all. They multiply only vegetatively.
• Vegetative reproduction is faster.
• Sometimes the seeds produced are not viable or fit that means they cannot form new plants.
• It is the embryo of the seeds that forms the new plants. If the embryo is not there or is destroyed, the new plants cannot be formed.
• The new plants formed through vegetative reproduction are exactly like the parent plants.

Disadvantage of vegetative reproduction

• Since vegetative reproduction produces an exact copy of the parent,
• some undesired qualities of the parent plant also pass on to the plants of new generation.

hope this would help you!!
