Answer: Bulbs, runners, rhizomes, tubers (asexual).
- A Formation of seeds after fertilization
- B Production of spores in sporangia only
- C Bulbs, runners, rhizomes, tubers (asexual)
- D Combination of seed and spore production together
Correct answer: C. Bulbs, runners, rhizomes, tubers (asexual)
Explanation: Vegetative (asexual) reproduction: new plants from vegetative parts: bulbs (onion), runners (strawberry), rhizomes (ginger), tubers (potato), corms, etc.
Double fertilisation in angiosperms: one male gamete fuses with the egg to form the diploid zygote (syngamy), while the second fuses with the two polar nuclei to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus (triple fusion). Image: Triploid, CC BY 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.
