Question

A farmer sows pieces of potato with buds in the soil to grow more potatoes. Which kind of asexual reproduction is this?

Answer 1

C. Budding because offspring is growing off from the parent potato

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Vegetative propagation

Explanation:

The vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in which sex organs are not involved. The vegetative parts such as stem, leaves of a plant, are used to produce offspring. The offspring are genetically similar to the parent. A potato tuber is a modified stem which contains buds. The buds give rise to many new plants when tuber is sown. Thus, propagation through potato tuber is a type of asexual reproduction.
