Stephan’s mother cuts a twig from a rose bush and plants it in the soil. After a few days, Stephan observes a new plant growing. Which characteristic does the growth of the new plant depict?

A) asexual reproduction
B) meiosis
C) mitosis
D) sexual reproduction

Respuesta :

Asexual Reproduction- the twig growing into a new plant is a form of asexual reproduction called budding where a piece of an organism regrows its lost cells and creates two seperate but identical organisms.

The generation of the new offspring from the parent is called reproduction. It can be either sexual or asexual.

The correct answer is:

Option A. Asexual reproduction

This can be explained as:

  • When there is no amalgamation of gametes or variation in chromosome number then the reproduction is said to be asexual.

  • In asexual reproduction, the offspring emerges from single or multi-celled organisms.

  • They procure their full set of the genome from the single parent.

  • Stem cutting is one of the methods of asexual reproduction in which the new plant emerges from the piece of a parent plant.

Therefore stem cutting in rose is an example of asexual reproduction.
