Which of the following is a method of reproduction in plants, where only a single parent is involved?
Pollination
Asexual reproduction
Fertilisation
Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves only a single parent to produce offspring. The resulting young ones are genetically identical copies (clones) of the parent plant, without any fusion of gametes or seed formation.

Taxonomic Classification & Plant Physiology (Botany Division: Thallophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms)
Asexual reproduction requires only one single parent plant to produce new individuals.
No seeds or sexual gamete fusion are involved in asexual reproduction.
Offspring produced via asexual methods are identical genetic copies of the parent, referred to as clones.
Methods of asexual reproduction in plants include vegetative propagation (e.g., tuber eyes in potatoes, Bryophyllum leaf buds), fragmentation (Spirogyra), budding (Yeast), and spore formation (Ferns, Mosses).
Option A (Pollination): The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower; it is a step in sexual reproduction.
Option C (Fertilisation): The fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote, which is an essential stage of sexual reproduction.
Option D (Sexual reproduction): Reproduction requiring two parents (male and female gametes) to produce genetically diverse seeds.
B is correct тАФ Asexual reproduction involves a single parent producing offspring without the fusion of gametes or seed formation.
Questions on plant reproduction often test vegetative plant structures (e.g., rhizomes in ginger, bulbs in onions, runners in grass) alongside animal reproduction terms (mitosis vs meiosis). Memorize stem vs root vegetative modifications for biology modules.
