Riley cuts a small stem from an aloe plant and gives it to John. John takes the cutting home and plants it in his garden. In a few months, the small stem has grown into a full-sized, new plant. Which of these choices correctly describes this situation?

Riley's plant reproduced by spore formation, and is genetically identical to the plant in John's garden.


Riley's plant reproduced by binary fission, and is genetically different than the plant in John's garden.


Riley's plant reproduced by vegetative reproduction, and is genetically identical to the plant in John's garden.


Riley's plant reproduced by budding, and is genetically different than the plant in John's garden.
