Chapter 29, Problem 13SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Asexual reproduction in flowering plants is one of the modes of reproduction where a single cell is divided into two identical daughter cells. Same parent gives rise to two individual clones. Vegetative reproduction is mode of asexual reproduction from which new shoots and roots are developed from the fragments of a parent plant. They include budding, cuttings, grafting, and air layering techniques.
