PLANT REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A plant produces tiny plants around the edges of its leaves. When these tiny plants fall to the ground, they take root and become new plants. This process is an example of
A
Sexual Reproduction
B
Asexual Reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fragmentation is another form of asexual reproduction. It involves new plants growing from small parts of a parent plant that fall to the ground. This is one of the ways that plants like liverworts and mosses reproduce.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual plant propagation methods produce new plants from vegetative parts of the original plant, such as the leaves, stems and roots. These methods are generally referred to as vegetative propagation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In asexual reproduction, part of the parent plant is used to generate a new plant. Grafting, layering, and micropropagation are some methods used for artificial asexual reproduction. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent plant from which the stock has been taken.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants. A part of plant except flower is involved in vegetative propagation, for example stem, leaves etc. The offsprings are identical to the parent plant.
