The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the listed plants reproduces by fragmentation, we can analyze each option based on their reproductive methods. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Fragmentation**: Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction where an organism breaks into fragments, and each fragment can grow into a new individual. 2. **List the Plants**: The plants we need to consider are: - Yeast - Spirogyra - Bryophyllum - Rose - Fern - Sweet potato 3. **Analyze Each Plant**: - **Yeast**: Yeast reproduces mainly by budding, which is not fragmentation. - **Spirogyra**: Spirogyra is an algae that reproduces by fragmentation. When it matures, it can break into fragments, and each fragment can develop into a new organism. - **Bryophyllum**: Bryophyllum reproduces through vegetative propagation, mainly through its leaves, not by fragmentation. - **Rose**: Roses are typically propagated by cuttings, which is a form of vegetative reproduction, not fragmentation. - **Fern**: Ferns reproduce through spores, not by fragmentation. - **Sweet potato**: Sweet potatoes reproduce through tubers, which is also a form of vegetative reproduction. 4. **Conclusion**: The only plant from the list that reproduces by fragmentation is **Spirogyra**. ### Final Answer: **Spirogyra** is the plant that reproduces by fragmentation. ---
