Question

How do plants reproduce asexually?

Answer 1

Plants reproduce asexually through various methods such as:

1. Vegetative Propagation: In this method, plants reproduce from roots, stems, or leaves. Examples include runners in strawberries and tubers in potatoes.
2. Budding: New individuals develop as outgrowths from the parent plant, such as in yeast.
3. Fragmentation: Pieces of the parent plant break off and grow into new plants, as seen in some aquatic plants.
4. Apomixis: Seeds are produced without fertilization, resulting in genetically identical offspring.
5. Parthenogenesis: Some plants can produce seeds without fertilization. Each of these methods allows plants to reproduce asexually, producing genetically identical offspring.
