  1. Slow

  2. Natural

  3. Man-made

  4. Both A and C

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Artificial propagation is the creation of new life by other than the natural means available to an organism. Cutting plants' stems and placing them in compost is also a form of artificial reproduction. We can grow many plants from one plant by using the man-made methods. The process of growing many plants from one plant by man-made methods is called as the artificial propagation of plants.

  1. Embryology

  2. Grafting

  3. Agamospermy

  4. Emasculation

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Embryology is the science of development of the embryo. It is a branch of science which deals with the development of gametes, fertilization, and development of embryos.
Scion is the detached living part of the plant which is grafted to the stalk by the process of grafting. Grafting is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant is used to regenerate the growth. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. The joining of scion and stalk is known as inosculation. The techniques are mostly used in the asexual mode of reproduction. 
Agamospermy is an asexual reproduction in which seeds are produced from unfertilized ovules.
The removal of the anthers of a flower in order to prevent self-pollination is known as emasculation.
So, the correct answer is option B.

  1. Tissue culture.

  2. Grafting.

  3. Stem cuttings.

  4. Layering.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mango and guava are propagated through grafting. It is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant is used to regenerate the growth. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. The joining of scion and stalk is known as inosculation. The techniques are mostly used in the asexual mode of reproduction. 

So, the correct answer is option B.

Organism produced by asexual reproduction are called

  1. clones

  2. offsprings

  3. factors

  4. both (A) and (B)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since the organisms produced by asexual reproduction are completely identical to the parents due to no variation, they are called clones.

So, the correct option is  'clones'.

Show answer
Correct Option: D

Assertion: Clones are produced by sexual reproduction and same sexual process.

Reason: These are prepared by group of cells descended from many cells or by inbreeding of a heterozygous line

  1. If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Clones are asexually produced. These have same genotype and phenotype like parent.

So, the correct answer is 'If both the assertion and reason are false'
