Question
Biology Question on sexual reproduction in flowering plants
What is common between vegetative reproduction and apomixis?
A
both are applicable to only dicot plants
B
both bypass the flowering phase
C
both occur round the year
D
both produce progeny identical to the parent.
Answer
both produce progeny identical to the parent.
Explanation
Solution
Apomixis is a reproductive process in plants that superficially resembles normal sexual reproduction but in which there is no fusion of gametes. The embryos develop simply by division of a diploid cell the ovule. So, the progenies produced are identical to the parent. In vegetative reproduction also progenies produced are identical to the parent.
