Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do we call the process of increasing the numbers of a species, or perpetuation of a species?
A
Propagation
B
Sexually
C
Asexually
D
Germination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Propagation is the process of multiplying or increasing the number of plants of the same species and at the same time perpetuating their desirable characteristics. Plants may be propagated under two general categories: sexual and asexual propagation. Reproduction by seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -This process of replicating or making copies of themselves is called ‘reproduction’. Reproduction is broadly divided into two categories, namely, sexual and asexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Self-perpetuation, the capability of something to cause itself to continue to exist, is one of the main characteristics of life. Organisms’ capability of reproduction leads to self-perpetuation of the species, if not to the individual. Populations self-perpetuate and grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -The meaning of perpetuation of species is the continuation of species. Reproduction ensures the continuation of species as its main aim is to grow the number of organisms of a species over time. The production of offspring that is biologically similar to the organism is called reproduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two primary forms of plant propagation: sexual and asexual. In nature, propagation of plants most often involves sexual reproduction, or the production of viable seeds. When exposed to proper environmental conditions, these seeds germinate and grow into mature, reproductive plants.
