Detailed explanation-1: -Plants have two main types of asexual reproduction: vegetative reproduction and apomixis. Vegetative reproduction results in new plant individuals without the production of seeds or spores.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-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.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vegetative Propagation It is any form of asexual reproduction occurring in plants, in which new plants are produced from the vegetative parts of the plants, i.e. roots, stems or buds. Vegetative propagation in plants can occur both by naturally or also can be artificially induced by horticulturists.
