  1. Question 1

    What is vegetative propagation?

    • AA method of asexual reproduction in plants
    • BA method of sexual reproduction in plants
    • CFusion of two gametes
    • DFormation of pollen grains
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Vegetative propagation is a method of asexual reproduction in plants in which a new plant is produced from a vegetative part of the parent plant.

  2. Question 2

    From which parts of the parent plant can a new plant be produced by vegetative propagation?

    • ARoot, stem or leaf
    • BFlower only
    • CPollen grain only
    • DFruit only
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter states that vegetative propagation produces new plants from the vegetative parts such as roots, stems or leaves.

  3. Question 3

    Vegetative propagation takes how much time compared with the sexual method to produce a new generation?

    • AMuch less time
    • BMuch more time
    • CExactly the same time
    • DThe chapter does not state this
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter states that vegetative propagation takes much less time to produce a new generation compared with the sexual method.

  4. Question 4

    The offspring produced by vegetative propagation are genetically what to the parent plant?

    • AIdentical
    • BDifferent
    • CAlways smaller
    • DAlways larger
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The chapter states that offspring produced by vegetative propagation are genetically identical to the parent plant.

  5. Question 5

    What is natural vegetative propagation?

    • AA process where plants reproduce on their own using structures like stems roots or leaves
    • BA process in which humans use grafting
    • CA process involving fusion of gametes
    • DA process involving pollen transfer
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Natural propagation is described as plants reproducing on their own using structures such as stems, roots or leaves.
