What is Vegetative Reproduction?

A type of asexual reproduction where new plants grow from parts of the parent plant (roots, stems, or leaves) instead of from seeds.

What are the two types of vegetative reproduction?

1. Natural vegetative reproduction
2. Artificial vegetative reproduction

Describe Natural Vegetative Reproduction.

New plants multiply on their own using specialized parts of the parent plant.

Describe Artificial Vegetative Reproduction.

Humans help plants grow using specific methods.

List examples of modified structures used in Natural Vegetative Reproduction.

Tubers (e.g., potato), Bulbs (e.g., onion, garlic), Rhizomes (e.g., ginger), Fleshy roots (e.g., dahlia, sweet potato), Leaves (e.g., bryophyllum), Offsets (e.g., water hyacinth).

List methods and examples of plants used in Artificial Vegetative Reproduction.

Cutting (e.g., rose), Layering (e.g., jasmine), Grafting (e.g., mango), Root division, Tissue culture (e.g., banana, orchid).

Mnemonic: "Cut Layers Get Rich Tissue"

What are the advantages of vegetative reproduction?

It is fast, reliable, and produces plants genetically identical to the parent.
