Correct Answer: 1 and 3 only. In Plants, the vegetative propagation corresponds to asexual reproduction where single plant gets involved whose offspring results in single parent that serves as clones of parent. Only seed and micro propagation will get rid of virus and vegetative propagation that can be practiced all through the year. It is seen that advanced vegetative cloning as Meristem culture will help to get rid of virus. So we see that statement 1 and 3 are correct as Vegetative propagation gives clonal population which can be worked out in most of the year which statement 2 is incorrect as Vegetative propagation is responsible for virus diseases in plants.
