15 Questions
Which method of reproduction involves a new plant growing from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant?
Asexual reproduction
What term is used to describe specialized reproductive structures in plants that can be used for vegetative reproduction?
Reproductive propagules
Why do some plants reproduce through vegetative propagation instead of seed production?
It allows plants to produce more offspring per unit of resource
Which type of plants typically lack a vascular cambium, making them more challenging to propagate?
Monocotyledons
What is the process of plant reproduction of a species or cultivar, and it can be sexual or asexual?
Plant propagation
Vegetative reproduction allows for genetic diversity and accumulation of deleterious mutations
False
Horticulturists have developed asexual propagation techniques using vegetative propagules to replicate plants
True
Monocotyledons typically lack a vascular cambium, making them more challenging to propagate
True
Plants reproduce exclusively through vegetative reproduction to ensure genetic diversity
False
Juveniles of a plant are easier to propagate vegetatively
True
Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants.
True
Plants can only reproduce through vegetative reproduction.
False
Horticulturists have not developed asexual propagation techniques using vegetative propagules.
False
Monocotyledons typically lack a vascular cambium, making them more challenging to propagate.
True
Vegetative reproduction allows for genetic diversity and accumulation of deleterious mutations.
False
