HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Vegetative growth is the growth of leaves, stems and roots. Generative growth is the development of flowers, fruits and seeds. The plant divides its energy between vegetative and generative growth. The leaves of a plant are the sugar producing organ of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is A vegetative propagation. Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction. Stems, leaves and roots are called as the vegetative parts of a plant. These vegetative parts can be used in the production of new plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vegetative propagation is commonly seen in the leaves of Bryophyllum and Begonia. In Bryophyllum, buds present over the edges of a leaf detach from the parent plant and give rise to a new plantlet. Even when a leaf falls on moist soil, the buds still develop into new plantlets.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vegetative parts (figure 1) include roots, stems, shoot buds and leaves. They are not directly involved in sexual reproduction. Vegetative parts often are used in asexual forms of reproduction. Examples include cuttings, budding or grafting.
