Question

the diagram shows vegetative propagation in a plant species. a student claims that the new plant develops from the parent plant through mitotic cell division. which evidence supports the students claim? the new plant develops within a short period of time. the new plant develops in the vicinity of the parent plant. the new plant develops without the involvement of gametes. the new plant develops in the same way as the parent plant.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, new organisms are produced without the involvement of gametes (sex - cells). Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in plants. So, the lack of gamete involvement supports that the new plant develops from the parent through mitotic cell division.

Answer:

The new plant develops without the involvement of gametes
