In bacteria and lower organisms offspring formed are close similar among themeselves and to their parents.
a)Name offspring derived through such process
b) Write down the 2 characterstics of such offspring.

In some lower and higher plants offspring are produced shows greater similarity and it occurs mainly through asexual reproduction,in higher plants the process ocuurs through vegetative propagation. a) What is vegetative propagation? b) Give two suitable examples.

Read the following statements carefully and select the appropriate option given below. (i) Reproduction is defined as a biological process in which an organism gives rise to the young ones (offspring) similar to itself. (ii) Adventitious buds arise from the notches present at margins of leaves of Bryophyllum. (iii) Asexual reproduction is common among single celled organisms, and in plants and animals with relatively simple organisations. (iv) A few plants exhibit unusual flowering phenomenon, some of them such as bamboo species flower only once in their life time, generally after 50-100 years. (v) The events of asexual reproduction though elaborate and complex, follow a regular sequence.

The IUPAC name of an organic compound is derived by identifying the functional group and parent hydrocarbon chain, Write the IUPAC name of CH_3-CH=CH-CH_2-CH_2COOH
