vegetative propagation
vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants, can happen naturally: runners, tubers, bulbs or it can be done artificially by growers: stem cuttings and grafting. vegetative propagation may form new plants from the following structures: stems, such as runners in strawberries; roots, such as sweet potato tubers in dahlias; leaves, in cacti; buds, in bulbs such as onions or daffodils. artificial methods of vegetative propagation include cuttings, layering, and grafting. vegetative propagation is the removal of a plant and allowed to form new plants, layering - a branch of a plant is fixed into the soil to allow it to form roots, grafting - a section from one plant is attached to a section of another plant, finally, micropropagation - the growth of new plants from tiny pieces of a parent plant
step 1 - reading the lines (noticings level a)
identify word - wall words used in the text:

1. grafting
2. grafting
3. micropropagation

use the what, how and why to write the gist of the reading using 10 words:
step 2 - reading between the lines (noticings level b)
use a word from column a and make a connection to a word from column 1) how is stem cutting different from runners?

1. why is vegetative propagation a useful form of asexual reproduction?
2. which of the following is an advantage of grafting?
3. change varieties and / or cultivars.
4. increase root size.
5. increase leaf development.
6. all of the above

column a
connection (sentence and diagram)
column b
grafting
micropropagation
how does the text connect with the content that our unit is focused on?

Explanation:

1. Stem - cutting is an artificial method where a stem piece is used to grow a new plant, while runners are natural horizontal stems that produce new plants at nodes.
2. Vegetative propagation is useful as it can quickly produce genetically identical plants, preserve desirable traits, and is often faster than sexual reproduction.
3. Grafting allows changing varieties and/or cultivars by combining parts of different plants. Increasing root size and leaf development are not the main advantages compared to variety - changing.

Answer:

1. Stem cutting is artificial, runners are natural.
2. Preserves traits, fast reproduction.
3. 1. Change varieties and / or cultivars.
