4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because meoisis division occurs in gamates which are sperm cell and egg cell . And in meoisis division the number of chromosomes for the daughter cells is half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell have. This is because when there is a fussion of male and female sex cells ,the zygote which is the daughter cell should have the 46 chromosomes which is the normal chromosomes for humans and when this chromosomes are in pairs then they should be in 23 pairs of chromosomes which are haploid and later be used for another cycle when the person matures and ready to reproduce

During vegetative propagation, offspring grow from parts of the parent
zhannawk [14.2K]

Ans:

Please read the explanation section.

Explanation:

Vegetative propagation does not require seeds or spores to produce offspring. In this propagation, offspring grow from a specific part of the parent plant. In different plants, vegetative propagation happens in different ways. Here are a few examples.

  • Garlic, onions, and tulip plants all reproduce using genuine bulbs/true bulbs. These short covered stems are also called scaly bulbs because it has many layers.
  • Crocuses reproduce using corms. Corms are similar to genuine bulbs. But, a corm doesn’t have as many layers as true bulbs.
  • Potato plants reproduce using tubers. These underground growths propagate new plants from stems or growing points, which is called eyes.
  • Ginger plants reproduce using rhizomes. These stems are those which grow sideways along with the soil or just below the surface.
  • Strawberry plants reproduce using stolons. Stolons are looking like branches growing along the ground.
