Offsets are produced by
Parthenocarpy
Mitotic divisions
Meiotic divisions
Parthenogenesis
As we learnt in
Vegetative reproduction -
A form of asexual reproduction in plants.
- wherein
In plants, the units of vegetative propagation such as runner, rhizome, sucker, tuber, offset, bulb are all capable of giving rise to new offspring. These structures are called vegetative propagules
Offset is a vegetative part of a plant, formed by mitosis. Meiotic divisions do not occur in somatic cells. Parthenogenesis is the formation of embryo from ovum or egg without fertilisation. Parthenocarpy is the fruit formed without fertilisation, (generally seedless)
Option 1)
Parthenocarpy
This is incorrect.
Option 2)
Mitotic divisions
This is correct.
Option 3)
Meiotic divisions
This is incorrect.
Option 4)
Parthenogenesis
This is incorrect.
