Verified By Collegedunia

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Eyes are actually the axilliary buds present on potato tuber (a modifed stem). They serve as means of vegetative reproduction. Rhizome is modifed stem found in ginger and some other plants. It possesses buds at nodes.Bulbils are feshy buds found at leaf axils. They developinto new plants afer falling on ground e.g., Agave. InBryophyllum adventitious leaf buds are found in marginalnotches of leaves that serve as vegetative propagules.Ofsets are horizontal stems found in aquatic plants that bear roots and shoots at nodes. They serve as vegetative propagule by fragmentation e.g., Pistia, Eicchornia.

Reproduction

The term reproduction is a biological process that means to reproduce. It is a process by which an organism reproduces an offspring that is biologically similar or identical to its parents. Reproduction accredits and ensures the continuity of species, generation after generation, and is the main character of life on earth.

Types of Reproduction:

There are two types of reproduction such as:

Asexual Reproduction:

It is the production an offspring by a single parent beyond the formation and fusion of gametes. The young one obtains all its genes from one parent, so are identical.

Sexual Reproduction:

Sexual reproduction is mostly biparental, includes the formation of meiosis gamete usually fertilization also, instigates genetic variation in the offspring, and plays a role in the evolution of species, found in higher plants and animals.
