Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of asexual reproduction?

• A. Budding
• B. Fragmentation
• C. Grafting
• D. Binary Fission

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Grafting

Grafting is a method of artificial vegetative propagation, not natural asexual reproduction, as it involves human intervention. In grafting, a desired cutting or scion is attached to the stem of another plant that remains rooted in the ground. The tissue systems of the cutting become grafted into or integrated with the tissue systems of the base plant over time.
