No, gametes are not formed during asexual reproduction in plants. Asexual reproduction is a process by which plants reproduce without the fusion of gametes, meaning that there is no sexual reproduction involved.
Asexual reproduction in plants typically occurs through methods such as fragmentation, vegetative propagation, and budding. In these processes, new plants grow from parts of the parent plant, such as roots, stems, or leaves, rather than from gametes.
This method of reproduction allows for rapid reproduction and the creation of genetically identical clones of the parent plant, which can be advantageous in stable environments. In contrast, sexual reproduction in plants involves the formation of gametes—male (pollen) and female (ovules)—which fuse to form zygotes, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.
