Question

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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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. Hence, the progenies produced are identical to the parent. In vegetative reproduction also, progenies produced are identical to the parent.
