Apomixis is a kind of asexual reproduction in which viable embryo is formed within the confines of the seed coat, without meiosis and syngamy. Since it is an asexual reproduction, the offsprings produced are identical to the parent plants. Hence, the assertion is incorrect. In Apomixis, embryos are formed from the gametophytic or sporophytic cells which undergo stages of embryogeny and eventually develop into mature embryos. Hence, the reason is incorrect.
