Question

Development of animal embryo from egg without fertilization is called as

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A Parthenogenesis

Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which the offspring develops from unfertilized eggs e.g., arthropods and rotifers, some fishes, birds, etc. but it does not occur in mammals.
Parthenocarpy is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilization of ovules.
Apospory is a process by which new organisms arise without production of seeds or spores.

Apomixis is a mode of seed formation. It is an asexual mode of reproduction. It produces clonal progeny with a maternal genotype.

So, the correct answer is option A.
