Heya !!!

Here's your answer !!!

Apomixis :

▶ Production of seeds without the involvement of meiosis and fertilization is called as Apomixis...
Example: Some species of Asteraceae and poaceae (Grasses)..


Significance :

▶Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction...

▶ In some species , the diploid egg cell is formed without reduction division ( meiosis) and directly develops into the embryo without fertilization...

▶ It's an assured reproduction in the absence of pollinators, such as in extreme environments...


Importance of Apomixis :

▶The desirable characters are not segregated as the seeds are produced without meiosis and fertilization.....

▶ Superior and desirable characters can be maintained for many generations....

▶It is very useful in commercial hybrid seed production....


Hope this helps you :)
