In a plant, which reproduction type forms new plantlets from vegetative cells, buds or organs with no fusion of gametes?
ASexual reproduction
BTriple fusion
CDouble fertilization
DVegetative reproduction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Vegetative reproduction
1. Vegetative reproduction forms new plantlets from vegetative (somatic) cells, buds or organs.
2. It has only mitotic division and no gametic fusion.
3. Daughter plants are genetically similar to the parent.
4. Sexual reproduction needs gamete fusion, and double fertilization/triple fusion are events within sexual reproduction, so they are ruled out.
