2)
Question: What is the method of asexual reproduction where new plants grow from roots, stems, or leaves?
Answer: Vegetative

3)
Question: What are the scars on the potato tuber called, from which new plants grow?
Answer: Eyes
Explanation: The small buds present in the scars of potato tubers are called “eyes,” which can grow into new plants .
4)
Question: Which plant reproduces asexually through buds on the margins of leaves?
Answer: Bryophyllum
Explanation: Bryophyllum reproduces by vegetative propagation through buds present on the margins of its leaves .
5)
Question: What is the method of asexual reproduction in yeast?
Answer: Budding
Explanation: In budding, a small outgrowth (bud) develops on the parent organism (yeast) which detaches and becomes a new organism .
6)
Question: What is the method of asexual reproduction in algae like Spirogyra?
