HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because no mixing of male and female gametes takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -As already mentioned, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction. No sex cells (gametes) are involved in the process. Because there is no need for a mate, the parent organism reproduces relatively faster than organisms that reproduce sexually.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cloning, such as the use of plant tissue culture techniques, is an asexual reproduction of plants to produce duplicates from one plant specimen. The good properties of plants can be propagated to further generations.
