Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Apomixis
Parthenocarpy
Parthenocarpy is the phenomenon of production of fruits without the process of fertilisation. Thus the fruit formed is seedless and sterile.
Apomixis
The form of asexual reproduction in certain plants where seeds are produced without fertilisation is termed as apomixis. Since the apomictic seeds are formed from either endoreplication of the egg cell or from the cells of the nucellus, the progeny are clones of the parent plant
Vegetative propagation
Vegetative propagation is a type of reproduction that involves vegetative parts called propagules to produce offspring that are exactly like the parent plant.
Sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction involves formation and fusion of male and female gametes to produce offspring.
Final answer: b. Apomixis
