Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following about asexual reproduction in plants is true?
A
Insects are needed to transfer pollen
B
New plants grow from seeds
C
Offspring are genetically identical to their parents
D
Two types of gametes are involved
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, genetically identical to the parent plants and each other, except when mutations occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Budding. In budding, organisms reproduce by having new individuals split off from existing ones, which results in genetically identical parent and daughter organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, resulting in clonal plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant and each other, unless mutations occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent plant. There is no exchanging of genetic information, therefore, offspring are clones of the parent. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms which includes budding, vegetative propagation, spore formation and fragmentation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction in which the offspring produced is exactly similar to the parent. Also, neither there is formation of two different gametes, nor there is an involvement of two different sexes. In case of unicellular organisms, mitosis is a mode of asexual reproduction.
