Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vegetative reproduction (also known as vegetative propagation, vegetative multiplication or cloning) is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants in which a new plant grows from a fragment or cutting of the parent plant or specialized reproductive structures, which are sometimes called vegetative propagules.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are several methods of asexual reproduction such as fragmentation, budding, spore formation and vegetative propagation. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes. In vegetative propagation new plants are produced from different vegetative parts such as leaves, stems and roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacterial fission, fragmentation, spore formation, budding of hydra are different types of asexual reproduction. Syngamy, external fertilization, and conjugation are different types of sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Begonia and Bryophyllum are examples of vegetative propagation by leaves. This is a form of asexual reproduction in which new plants grow from the buds growing on the margin of the leaves. These buds are reproductive in nature and when they fall on the ground they germinate and form a new plant.
