AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - The statement claims that "offsprings produced by asexual reproduction are called clones." - **Evaluation:** This statement is correct. Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, hence they are referred to as clones. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - The statement claims that "microscopic motile asexual reproductive structures are called zoospores." - **Evaluation:** This statement is also correct. Zoospores are indeed motile asexual spores that can move and are produced by certain organisms. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - The statement claims that "in potato, banana, and ginger, the plantlets arise from the inter-node present in the modified stem." - **Evaluation:** This statement is incorrect. In these plants, the plantlets actually arise from the nodes of the modified stem, not the inter-nodes. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement:** - The statement claims that "water hyacinth growing in standing water drains oxygen from the water which leads to the death of fishes." - **Evaluation:** This statement is correct. Water hyacinth does consume oxygen in the water, leading to oxygen deficiency which can cause the death of fish. ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct is the third one: "In potato, banana, and ginger, the plantlets arise from the inter-node present in the modified stem." ---
