• It always requires pollination and fertilization.

• It can occur naturally or artificially.

• It only happens in flowering plants.

• It produces genetically unique offspring.

Which part of a plant is least likely to be involved in vegetative reproduction?

• Stem

• Root

• Leaf

• Flower

Which of the following is an example of artificial vegetative reproduction?

• Growth of a new plant from a stem cutting.

• Pollination of a flower by a bee.

• Seed germination.

• Formation of fruit.

In vegetative reproduction, the new plants produced are:

• Genetically identical to the parent plant.

• Genetically diverse due to recombination.

• Genetically identical only if seeds are used.

• Genetically diverse due to pollen from other plants.

Which of the following is not a method of vegetative reproduction?

• Planting a seed.

• Growing new plants from tubers.

• Propagation from cuttings.

• Producing new plants from bulbs.

Why might humans use artificial vegetative reproduction?

• To introduce genetic diversity into crops.

• To ensure new plants have the same desirable traits as the parent.

• To increase the time it takes for a plant to mature.

• To create flowers with new colors.
