Question

How is agamospermy is different from parthenogenesis and parthenocarpy?

Answer 1

asexual reproduction in which seeds are produced from unfertilized ovules. And parthenogenesis is reproduction from an ovum without fertilization, especially as a normal process in some invertebrates and lower plants. And parthenocarpy is the development of a fruit without prior fertilization.

Answer 2

The main difference between agamospermy and parthenogenesis and parthenocarpy is that in agamospermy process seed is produced whereas in parthenogenesis and parthenocarpy processes seed is not produced.

EXPLANATION:

AGAMOSPERMY:  

• It is a process in which seeds are produced from unfertilized ovules of fruits or vegetables.
• Example:  mango, prickly pear, citrus fruit etc.

PARTHENOGENESIS:

• It is a natural process.  It is also a type of asexual reproduction process which leads to production of embryos without fertilization.

PARTHENOCARPY:

• It means forking fruit. It can be achieved artificially or naturally. It leads to production of fruits without fertilization of ovules.
