Question

The process in which embryo develops from unfertilized oosphere is called as

• A. Parthenogenesis
• B. Apospory
• C. Apogamy
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Parthenogenesis

Apospory is the development of gametophyte without meiosis forming haploid spores.

Apogamy is the development of sporophyte without the usual syngamy of gametes. The apogamic sporophyte will be haploid sporophyte as against normal diploid sporophyte.

Parthenogenesis is the development of an embryo without fertilisation from an unfertilized egg.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
