Solution:

Apomixis (Gk. apo-without, mixismixing) is a mode of reproduction which does not involve formation of zygote through gametic fusion. It is, therefore, akin to asexual reproduction. In plants apomixis commonly mimics sexual reproduction but produces seeds without fertilisation, e.g., some species of Asteraceae and grasses.
