Question : List any two modes of asexual reproduction in animals. Under which mode of reproduction is vegetative propagation placed and why? List two advantages of vegetative propagation. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :The two modes of asexual reproduction in animals : are (i) Binary fission, (ii) Budding. Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction. It is the ability of plants to produce new plants from the vegetative parts, such as leaves, stems and roots, under favourable conditions. ADVANTAGES of vegetative propagation : (i) Only one parent is required for reproduction, this ELIMINATES the need of special mechanisms (pollination). (ii) Many plants are able to tide over unfavourable conditions because of the presence of vegetative reproductive parts like tubers, corms and bulbs. (iii) Plants that do not produce seeds are propagated by this method, e.g., sugarcane and POTATO. (iv) Vegetative propagation is a cheaper, easier and rapid method of propagation in plants than growing plants from their seeds. For example, lilies grow very slowly and take four to seven years to develop flowers when their seeds are GROWN, but flowers are produced only after a year or two when grown vegetatively. (v) The trait (character) of the parent plant is preserved and the offspring are genetically identical. |

|
Answer» Solution :On coating leaves with vaseline, it WOULD abversely affect the plant in following ways, due to closure of stomata : (i) Therewill be no gaseousexchange, henceit will notbe able to photosynthesise as `CO_(2) `cannot enter. (ii)It will not be able to get oxygen from the AIR at NIGHT for respiration. (iii)Since transpirationwill also stop so it will also not be able to take up WATER from the soil. |
|
| 2896. |
Question : Leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with vaseline to block the stomata. Will this plant remain healthy for long? State three reasons for your answer. |
|
Answer» Solution :If waxy coating is made on the surface of leaf, LOSS of water in the form of water vapour does not TAKE place. Even the gaseous exchange will not take place. So, photosynthesis will either be reduced or will not take place. The plant will not remain healthy for long because: (a) Exchange of gases will not take place. (b) Photosynthesis will either be reduced or will not take place DUE to LACK of `CO_(2)`. (c) Transpiration will not take place, so there will be no mechanism of COOLING in hot weather. |
