Question

Mention two ways in which apomictic embryos are formed.

Answer 1

From the unreduced egg cell which develops into the embryo without fertilization. 2. The surrounding part of embryo sac, the nucellar cells which are diploid, develop into embryo inside embryo sac. Thus, in this case also embryo develops without undergoing reductional division (meiosis) and fertilization. So, the above are the both ways of apomictic embryos.
