AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Potatoes are mainly propagated by vegetative methods (cloning). Potato tubers have nodes or eyes from which the new growth begins. The new stems growing from each eye are called sprouts which giver rise to the new plant. Vegetative seed can be either a whole tuber or a cut tuber.

Detailed explanation-2: -The potato plant undergoes asexual reproduction via vegetative propagation. Vegetative propagation is the reproduction process in which new plant offspring can be formed from vegetative parts of the plant like roots, stems, and leaves. Potato contains small eyes/tubers that give rise to leaves in them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Potatoes are grown by vegetative propagation; that is, small tubers or pieces of tubers are planted. To maximize their planting stock, farmers may cut the tubers into several pieces. Each piece can grow into a new plant as long as an “eye” is present.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sweetpotato is cultivated by vegetative propagation. Growers take stem cuttings from the vines, which then root and form new storage roots. In some colder climates, where vines do not develop well, producers will plant roots.
