Question

Offspring produced by vegetative propagation are ______.

Options

• haploid

• triploid

• genetically identical

• superior to offspring produced by sexual reproduction

Answer 1

Offspring produced by vegetative propagation are genetically identical.

Explanation:

Offspring produced by vegetative propagation are genetically identical to the parent plant. This is because vegetative propagation involves asexual reproduction, where the offspring arise from a single parent without fusion of gametes, resulting in clones with identical genetic material.
