Question

Which of the following is non - recurrent apomixis?

• A. Aneuspory
• B. Amphimixis
• C. Haploid parthenogenesis
• D. Diploid parthenogenesis

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Haploid parthenogenesis

The correct option is C

Explanation of correct option:

1. Haploid pathogenesis forms a haploid embryo because it is a formation of an embryo from an unfertilized egg.
2. Since non-re-current apomixis refers to the development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg, this haploid pathogenesis is non-recurrent apomixis.

Explanation of incorrect options:

Option A

1. Aneuspory is a process in which the Mega spore mother cell produces an embryo by Mitosis.
2. Thus producing a diploid embryo.

Option B

Amphimixis is a type of sexual reproduction in which there is a fusion of pronuclei from two different gametes, the male gamete and the female gamete, to form a zygote.

Option D

When an unfertilized diploid egg is developed into a new individual without any meiotic division.

Final answer: Haploid parthenogenesis is non-re-current apomixis.
