Q21. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called offsets, produced by the parent plant?
a) Offshoot formation
b) Propagation by offsets
c) Adventitious proliferation
d) Runner production
Show Answer
Correct Answer: b) Propagation by offsets
Explanation: Propagation by offsets is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called offsets, which are produced by the parent plant. Offsets are genetically identical to the parent and can develop into independent plants, contributing to clonal reproduction and expansion of plant populations.
Q22. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called bulblets, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Bulblet formation
b) Fragmentation
c) Vegetative propagation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Bulblet formation
Explanation: Bulblet formation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called bulblets develop on the parent plant and detach to form new individuals. Bulblets are small, dormant buds capable of developing into new plants when provided with suitable conditions, contributing to clonal propagation.
Q23. What is the term for the process in which detached plant parts, such as leaves or stems, are induced to produce roots and develop into new plants?
a) Adventitious propagation
b) Vegetative propagation
c) Rhizoid formation
d) Tuberization
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Adventitious propagation
Explanation: Adventitious propagation is the process by which detached plant parts, such as leaves, stems, or roots, are induced to produce roots and develop into new plants. This method of asexual reproduction is commonly employed in horticulture for propagating plants from cuttings or other vegetative parts without the need for seeds.
Q24. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the formation of new individuals from specialized structures called tubers, which detach from the parent plant?
a) Tuberal propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Tuber formation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Tuberal propagation
Explanation: Tuberal propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called tubers detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Tubers are storage organs containing meristematic cells capable of giving rise to roots and shoots, allowing for the propagation of genetically identical offspring.
Q25. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called plantlets, produced by the parent plant?
a) Plantlet formation
b) Offshoot propagation
c) Adventitious proliferation
d) Runner production
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Plantlet formation
Explanation: Plantlet formation is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called plantlets, which are produced by the parent plant. Plantlets are miniature versions of the parent plant and can develop into independent plants when detached, contributing to clonal reproduction.
Q26. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called plantlets, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Plantlet propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Vegetative proliferation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Plantlet propagation
Explanation: Plantlet propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called plantlets detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Plantlets are miniature versions of the parent plant and can root and grow into independent plants when provided with suitable conditions.
Q27. What is the term for the process in which detached plant parts, such as leaves or stems, are induced to produce roots and develop into new plants?
a) Adventitious propagation
b) Vegetative propagation
c) Rhizoid formation
d) Tuberization
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Adventitious propagation
Explanation: Adventitious propagation is the process by which detached plant parts, such as leaves, stems, or roots, are induced to produce roots and develop into new plants. This method of asexual reproduction is commonly employed in horticulture for propagating plants from cuttings or other vegetative parts without the need for seeds.
Q28. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the formation of new individuals from specialized structures called tubers, which detach from the parent plant?
a) Tuberal propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Tuber formation
d) Spore formation

Explanation: Tuberal propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called tubers detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Tubers are storage organs containing meristematic cells capable of giving rise to roots and shoots, allowing for the propagation of genetically identical offspring.
Q29. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called plantlets, produced by the parent plant?
a) Plantlet formation
b) Offshoot propagation
c) Adventitious proliferation
d) Runner production

Correct Answer: a) Plantlet formation
Explanation: Plantlet formation is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called plantlets, which are produced by the parent plant. Plantlets are miniature versions of the parent plant and can develop into independent plants when detached, contributing to clonal reproduction.
