Answer 1

Answer: asexual reproduction

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Brady took a cutting from a sweet potato vine in his family garden and placed the vine in a small vase filled with water. We are further told that after about a week, tiny roots had begun to grow. This is simply an example of asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is simply refers to a form of reproduction which doesn't have to do with changing the chromosomes or gametes fution. In this case, the fact that tiny roots began to grow despite the fact that there was no fusion of gamete shows that it's an asexual reproduction.

Answer 2

Answer:This is an example of asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Reproduction is defined as the ability of living organisms to produce offspring, that is, new individuals of their type. Living organisms have developed many methods of reproducing. These can be either ASEXUAL or SEXUAL.

Asexual reproduction: In asexual reproduction, an individual produces an offspring by itself, that is, only one parent is present. This type of reproduction is common among flowering plants. Examples of asexual reproduction includes:

--> Fission

--> Budding

--> Spore formation

--> Fragmentation and

--> Vegetative propagation.

The sweet potato vine is reproduced by an asexual means known as vegetative propagation. Here, a new plant grows from any portion of an old one other than the seeds. When stem cutting are taken from the vine, new storage roots are formed within few days.
