    Question

    What term is used to describe a new plant produced

    through vegetative reproduction?
    A Ortet Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Sapling Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Seedling Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Ramet Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Propagule Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: A ramet is a new plant produced through vegetative reproduction (e.g., from a root, stem, or leaf cutting) and is genetically identical to the parent plant.

    • Ortet refers to the original, mature plant that gives rise to vegetative offspring (ramets).
    • Sapling and seedling refer to young plants grown from seeds, not from vegetative propagation.
    • Propagule refers to any plant part capable of giving rise to a new plant, but ramet specifically refers to a new plant produced vegetatively from an existing one.
