Does vegetative reproduction produce offspring my meiosis?

I don't think so because meiosis refers to male & female unity to form a zygote. But, I am not certain.

    Vegetative propagation refers to growing a new plant from part of an old one. You can root a branch or a leaf, you can bury one end of a stem and it will root. You can use an eye of a potatoe or put a root in water and it will sprout. It does not use meiosis.

    Vegetative organs of plants are the roots, stems, and leaves - anything that isn't a reproductive organ. Vegetative reproduction is equivalent to asexual reproduction and involves mitosis. Meiosis is used in sexual reproduction to produce gametes.

    No. Vegetative reproduction involves the plant spreading by breaking parts off of itself.

    I think the process for plants is Mitosis. But it's summer and my 7th grade Life Science has gone out the window until school starts, (then I'll have to find it)

    :-P
