Question

An embryo may sometimes develop from any cell of embryo sac other than egg. It is termed as

• A. Apospory
• B. Apogamy
• C. Parthenogenesis
• D. Parthenocarpy

Answer 1

The correct option is B Apogamy

Apogamy is the reproduction without the fusion of gametes and usually without meiosis. The term may include any form of vegetative reproduction. The production of a diploid gametophyte from the sporophyte due to the absence of meiosis is known as apospory.

Parthenogenesis is the development of unfertilised egg into a complete individual without fertilisation.

Production and development of seedless fruits is called parthenocarpy.

So, the correct answer is 'Apogamy'.
