A small stem from a hibiscus plant was placed in a nutrieent medium, and it developed into a new plant. The new plant was reproduced

Answer Details

The new plant reproduced asexually with the same genotype as the parent plant. This process is called vegetative propagation, where a new plant is produced from a vegetative part of the parent plant (in this case, a stem) without the involvement of gametes or fertilization. The new plant is essentially a clone of the parent plant and has the same genetic makeup.
