Reproduction Extra Questions

Vegetative reproduction in potatoes occurs through underground stem tubers, where each cut part with an 'eye' can develop into a new plant. Bryophyllum reproduces via leaf margins that contain buds, leading to new plants. Pollen tubes facilitate fertilization by transporting male cells to the ovule, while rose plants can be quickly propagated through cuttings, and drumstick and maple seeds are dispersed by wind due to their winged structure.

Q. [Link] vegetative reproduction in the case of potato and Bryophyllum.

(i) Potato is an underground stem tuber. When it is cut into parts and
planted in the soil, each part with an 'eye' develops into a new potato plant.
At each eye is a bud which can develop into a new plant.

(ii) The leaf of Bryophyllum has many buds on its margin. These buds give
rise to new plants.

Q2, Explain the role of pollen tube in the process of fertilisation.

After pollination, a thin tube called the pollen tube grows down from the
pollen grain through the pistil. The pollen tube carries the male cell. It grows
until it reaches the ovule and enters it. Fertilization takes place and the
zygote is formed.

[Link] which method can you grow rose plant very quickly?
By Cutting: In this method, a healthy young branch of a plant having leaf
buds is cut off and planted in moist soil. The cutting develops roots and
grows into a new plant, for example, rose, sugarcane

Q4. How are seeds of drumsticks and maple dispersed?


Seeds of drumstick and maple have wings which help them to be easily carried away by
the wind to long distances.
