What is natural vegetative propagation?
Click to flip
It is a form of asexual reproduction in plants, where new plants grow from parts of the parent plant.
Click to flip
Which plant part is commonly involved in vegetative propagation through runners?
Click to flip
Stems, specifically horizontal stems called runners or stolons, are commonly involved.
Click to flip
How do tubers contribute to vegetative propagation?
Click to flip
Tubers develop into new plants through buds or 'eyes' on their surface.
Click to flip
Give an example of a plant that propagates naturally through bulbs.
Click to flip
Tulips propagate naturally through bulbs.
Click to flip
What is the role of rhizomes in natural vegetative propagation?
Click to flip
Rhizomes are underground stems that grow horizontally and produce new shoots and roots.
Click to flip
Describe how corms contribute to plant reproduction.
Click to flip
Corms reproduce by developing small cormels around the base of the parent corm.
Click to flip
How do suckers function in vegetative propagation?
Click to flip
Suckers are shoots that grow from the base or roots of a parent plant, forming new plants.
Click to flip
In which plants is the propagation through leaves most commonly seen?
Click to flip
Bryophyllum propagates through leaves by producing small plantlets.
Click to flip
Can vegetative propagation occur artificially as well as naturally?
Click to flip
Yes, vegetative propagation can occur both naturally and artificially, such as through cuttings.
Click to flip
Why is vegetative propagation advantageous for plants?
Click to flip
It allows rapid reproduction and ensures offspring are genetically identical to successful parent plants.
Click to flip
What is an example of a plant that uses root suckers for propagation?
Click to flip
Aspen trees use root suckers to propagate.
Click to flip
What advantage do rhizomes provide in natural environments?
Click to flip
Rhizomes enable plants to spread efficiently and withstand unfavorable conditions.
Click to flip
How does vegetative propagation benefit farmers and gardeners?
Click to flip
It enables them to propagate plants reliably and maintain desired traits.
Click to flip
What is layering in natural propagation and how does it occur?
Click to flip
Layering involves a stem touching the ground and forming roots while still attached to the parent plant.
Click to flip
What are the differences between tubers and bulbs?
Click to flip
Tubers are swollen stems, while bulbs are layers of modified leaves surrounding a stem.
