yeah?

Answer 11

r U there?

Answer 12

ok..see in vegetative propagation cells undergo mitosis to form a new plant. In mitosis only duplication of the cell takes place. so each and every cell formed of the new plant is exactly identical to the parent one. This does not occur in sexual reproduction

Answer 13

in sexual reproduction, meiosis occurs in which there is recombination between homologous chromosomes and the chromosome number becomes half, and then male and female gametes fuse to form a new plant.

Answer 14

they asked me why tho?

Answer 15

the reason for why is mitosis...no meiosis occuring, no crossing over, exact duplication of the genes from the parent, no second parent involved to give the variation, etc etc.
