Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In vegetative propagation the offspring are
A
similar to parents
B
able to out compete weeds
C
have desirable characteristics
D
genetically identical to parent
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The daughter individuals are genetic clones of the parents. This is because the plants arise from a single parent and there is no place for genetic diversity in offspring. Hence, we can conclude that vegetative propagation leads to the formation of daughter plants that are genetically identical to the parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -The plant produced by vegetative propagation is genetically identical to parent plants. It is also known as asexual reproduction because only one parent involved.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants produced by vegetative propagation are exact copies of their parent. This is a type of asexual reproduction. Such plants also take less time to grow and mature, that is, they bear fruits faster than those produced by sexual reproduction.
