Solution

The correct option is A

True


In many plants, the normal process of sexual reproduction is substituted by an asexual process and as a result seeds are produced without the need for fertilization. This phenomenon of substitution of the usual sexual process by asexual methods is known as apomixis and plants which exhibit this condition are called apomictic plants.
