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. |

1. | It refers to the presence of multiple cotyledons in the embryo. |
2. | It is the formation of multiple embryos from a single fertilized egg. |
3. | It occurs only in albuminous seeds, such as wheat and rice. |
4. | It results from the division of nucellar or integumentary cells to form additional embryos. |
Assertion (A): | Polyembryony is the occurrence of more than one embryo in a seed. |
Reason (R): | In certain species like Citrus and Mango, the female gametophytes has multiple egg cells. |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | Parthenocarpy is desirable in fruit crops such as banana and orange. |
Reason (R): | Parthenocarpy leads to development of seeds without fertilization. |
