Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Exchange of genetic material takes place in sexual reproduction as genes of two parents are involved.
In asexual reproduction, no exchange of genetic material takes place as a single parent is involved.
Budding and vegetative reproduction are types of asexual reproduction. So there is no exchange of genetic material.
