### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Definition of Vegetative Propagation**: Vegetative propagation is a mode of reproduction in plants where non-reproductive parts of the plant, such as leaves, stems, or roots, give rise to new plants or offspring. 2. **Examples of Vegetative Propagation**: Common examples include Bryophyllum (which propagates through its leaves), ginger (which propagates through its rhizomes), and water hyacinth (which propagates through its stolons). ...

Is it possible to consider vegetative propagation observed in certain plants like Bryophyllum, water hyacinth, ginger, etc., as a type of asexual reproduction? Give two three resons.

Find out correct order of vegetative propagules of plants like potato, ginger Agave, Bryophyllum and water hyacinth.

Find out correct order of vegetative propagules of plants like potato, ginger Agave, Bryophyllum and water hyacinth.

A: Those parts of the plants which help in vegetative reproduction are called propagules. R: Vegetative propagation is a type of Asexual reproduction

Consider the following statements and choose the correct option (i)The genetic consitution of a plant is unaffected in vegetative propagation (ii) Rhizome in ginger serves as an organ of vegetative reproduction (iii) Totipotency of cells enables us to micropropagate plants

Read the following statement and find out the incorrect statement. (a). Asexual reproduction is common among single-celled organisms, and in plants and animals with relatively complex organisations. (b) In yeast, the division is unequal and small buds are produced that remain attached initially to the parent cell which eventually gets separated and mature into yeast organism (cells). (c). vegetative reproduction is also a type of asexual reproduction. (d) While in animals and other simple organisms the term vegetative reproduction is used unambiguously, in plants the term asexual reproduction is frequently used. (e) Water hyacinth is also called 'Terror of Bengal'

It is not possible to measure the atomic radius precisely since the electron cloud surrounding the atom does not have a sharp boundary. One practical approach to estimate the size of an atom of a non-metallic element is to measure the distance between two atoms when they are bound together by a single bond in a covalent molecule and then dividing by two. For metals we define the term "metallic radius" which is taken as half the inter nuclear distance separating the metal cores in the metallic crystal. Then van der waal's radius represents the over all size of the atoms which includes its valence shell in a non bonded situation. It is the half of the distance between two similar atoms in separate molecules in a solid. The atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down the group. Same trends are observed in case of ionic radius. Ionic radius of the species having same number of electrons depends on the number of protons in their nuclei. Sometimes, atomic and ionic radii give unexpected trends due to poor shielding of nuclear charge by d -and f- orbital electrons. Now answer the following three questions: Which of the following relations is correct, if considered for the same element.
