Apomixis is:
I: | production of seeds without fertilization |
II: | production of fruits without fertilization |
III: | a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction |
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I is correct
3. Only III is correct
4. Only I and III are correct
1. | Apomixis is seed production without fertilization. |
2. | Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction. |
3. | Polyembryony is seen in many Citrus and Mango varieties. |
4. | Apomixis in hybrid varieties makes the hybrid useless. |
1. | Formation of a single embryo from two different pollen grains, e.g., apple |
2. | Development of multiple embryos from a single fertilized egg, e.g., citrus |
3. | Formation of an embryo without fertilization, e.g., wheat |
4. | Fusion of two embryos to form a single viable seed, e.g., maize |
1. | The formation of multiple zygotes |
2. | The development of additional embryos from the integument |
3. | The development of embryos from somatic cells of the ovule |
4. | Fertilization of multiple ovules within the same ovary |
I: | is a type of apomixis |
II: | produces embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant |
Assertion (A): | Hybrid varieties of several of our food and vegetable crops are being extensively cultivated. |
Reason (R): | Hybrid seeds have to be produced every year. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |

3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | Active research is going on in many laboratories around the world to understand the genetics of apomixis and to transfer apomictic genes into hybrid varieties. |
Reason (R): | Hybrid crop varieties do not reproduce sexually. |
