Solution
The correct option is D Parthenogenesis
• Parthenogenesis is the development of female gamete or sometimes male gamete, without fertilization.• Apogamy is the formation of a sporophyte from the gametophyte without the fusion of gametes.• Apospory is the formation of gametophyte from the sporophytic cells without the formation of spores.• Parthenocarpy is the formation of fruits without fertilization in which unfertilized egg develops into a fruit.Hence, the formation of an organism from single male gamete without fusion with the egg is called parthenocarpy.So, the correct answer is A.
• Parthenogenesis is the development of female gamete or sometimes male gamete, without fertilization.
• Apogamy is the formation of a sporophyte from the gametophyte without the fusion of gametes.
• Apospory is the formation of gametophyte from the sporophytic cells without the formation of spores.
• Parthenocarpy is the formation of fruits without fertilization in which unfertilized egg develops into a fruit.
Hence, the formation of an organism from single male gamete without fusion with the egg is called parthenocarpy.
So, the correct answer is A.
