Options

- BMitotic divisions
- CMeiotic divisions
- DParthenogenesis
Correct answer
B. Mitotic divisions
Step-by-step solution
Offsets are produced by mitotic divisions. They are one internode long runners that occur in some aquatic plants. A breaking of offsets helps in vegetative propagation. They give rise to new plants, e.g. Eichhornia. Meiotic divisions occur in only germ cells. Parthenocarpy is the development of seedless fruits. Parthenogenesis can be defined as the development of an egg into a complete individual without fertilization.
