AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction in plants occurs through their vegetative parts such as leaves, roots, stems, and buds. This is called vegetative propagation. For example, potato tubers, runners/stolon, onion bulbs, etc., all reproduce through vegetative propagation.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction produces individuals that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Roots such as corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and stolon undergo vegetative reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples include the formation of plantlets on specialized leaves (e.g. kalanchoe), the growth of new plants out of rhizomes or stolons (e.g. strawberry), or the formation of new bulbs (e.g. tulips).

Detailed explanation-5: -Potatoes and yams are examples of stem tubers. Root tubers originate from roots that have been modified to store nutrients. These roots become enlarged and may give rise to a new plant. Sweet potatoes and dahlias are examples of root tubers.
