1.Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
medium
Apomictic embryos in Citrus arise from
A
synergids
B
maternal sporophytic tissue in ovule
C
antipodal cells
D
diploid egg.
(AIPMT-2010)
Solution
(b) : Apomixis is abnormal kind of sexual reproduction in which egg or other cells associated with egg (synergids, antipodals, etc.) develop into embryo without fertilization and meiosis. Development of embryos directly from sporophytic tissues like nucellus and integuments is called adventive embryony which is also a type of apoximis. $E.g.$, Citrus, mango.
