Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without the formation of seeds due to lack of pollination, fertilization and embryo development. Polyembryony is the formation of more than one embryo from a single fertilized ovum or in a single seed. Apomixis is the development of an embryo without the occurrence of fertilization. Parthenogenesis is one form of apomixis. Dormancy is a state of temporary metabolic inactivity or minimal activity therefore helps an organism to conserve energy
