What is polyembryony ? Give one example.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

In some fruits such as orange and mango, the nucellar cells that surround the embryo start dividing and protrude into the embryo sac. These develop into embryos; thus resulting in the presence of more than one embryo inside each ovule. This condition is known as polyembryony.

Hope this answers your question,

Cheers!!
