Question

Plants raised by vegetative propagation bear early ____ and ____.
a) Roots, stem
b) Buds, seed
c)Flowers, fruits
d)Twigs, bark

Answer 1

Hint: The process of vegetative propagation is an asexual method of reproduction in the plants. In them, a part of the plant is taken and then allowed to grow. Once it has developed its roots and shoots then it is planted in the soil and is allowed to grow.

Complete answer: The plants are made to grow through the asexual reproductive methods to give the exact copies of their parents. These plants are propagated through the vegetative propagation. In this type of propagation, a part of the plant that is capable of growing by itself is taken out once it has developed shoots and roots, it is then planted onto the soil for further growth and development. Such plants which are grown by vegetative propagation are believed to bear the flowers and fruits earlier from the plants that are grown by the seeds. The plants grown by the seeds usually take much more time to flower and bear fruits. One can be uncertain whether they may even flower or not. But the plants produced by the vegetative propagation are exact copies of their parents and develop flowers and fruits in the early stages. They ensure that the flowers and fruits are borne and there lies no uncertainty about it.

So, the answer is ‘flowers, fruits’.

Note: The plants are grown by the method of asexual reproduction usually have the exact same features as that of their parent plant. The parent plant chosen for asexual reproduction should have good yield and growth. The plants grown from the seeds show variation in them and are not copies of their parents.
