Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction produces individuals that are genetically identical to the parent plant. Roots such as corms, stem tubers, rhizomes, and stolon undergo vegetative reproduction. Some plants can produce seeds without fertilization via apomixis where the ovule or ovary gives rise to new seeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction wherein a cell divides to produce two identical cells. Each of these two cells has the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -What statement best describes the process of asexual reproduction? The clone is genetically identical to its parent.
