In plants, reproduction through the process of cuttings is advantageous as compared to reproduction through seeds because it
Correct answer: B. Facilitates adaptation to environment
- A. Increases the chances of mutation
- B. Facilitates adaptation to environment
- C. Provides variability in the population
- D. Produces identical offspring in short time
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: facilitates adaptation to environment. Reproduction through cuttings produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, which helps them retain the parent's adaptations to the current environment, ensuring survival and stability.Option A is incorrect because cuttings do not increase mutation rates; they maintain genetic consistency. Option C is incorrect because cuttings produce uniform offspring, not genetic variability. Option D, while true about the speed and uniformity of reproduction, doesn't emphasize the environmental adaptation aspect.
