What’s vegetative reproduction (biology)<br><br> give description and example.
Virty [35]

Vegetative reproduction is a mode of asexual reproduction naturally occurring in plants. In this process. only one of the parent is involved and the offspring is genetically identical to the parent and no sharing of DNA takes place.

Examples are:  Onion, rhizome (ginger) and daffodil

Explanation:

There are meristem tissues found in the stem, root and leaves. These are undifferentiated cells and have tendency of dividing. This tissue gives rise to organs of the plant and responsible for its growth.

Natural vegetative propagation happens when an axillary bud grows into a lateral shoot and develops adventitious roots consequently forming a new plant.

suppose you have the monohybrid pea plants in your garden and find that they produce round seed to wrinkled seeds in the ration
Arisa [49]

Answer;

The correct answer would be Rr.

In a monohybrid cross, the phenotype ratio of 3:1 is obtained only when both the parents are heterozygous for the trait.

In this condition, the heterozygous genotype would be Rr. The phenotype of both the parents would be round seeds (R) as the round is a dominant trait.

The cross of these parents would produce offspring with three types of genotypes RR, Rr, and rr in ratio 1:2:1.

Thus, the phenotypic ratio would come out to be 3 (round seed):1 (wrinkled seed).
