Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. Usually occurs in bacteria. 2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many different types of roots exhibit vegetative reproduction. The corm is used by gladiolus and garlic. Bulbs, such as a scaly bulb in lilies and a tunicate bulb in daffodils, are other common examples of this type of reproduction. A potato is a stem tuber, while parsnip propagates from a taproot.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because this one plant produces new offspring that are genetically identical, bulbs are a form of vegetative propagation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Characteristics of Asexual Reproduction Single parent involved. No fertilization or gamete formation takes place. This process of reproduction occurs in a very short time. The organisms multiply and grow rapidly.
