Question

What would be the genetic nature of apomixis embryo?

Answer 1

Apomixis relates to mechanisms where an embryo sac is mitotically formed from a diploid cell in the ovule, bypassing meiosis. The genetic nature of plants produced by apomictic embryos is the same as that of parents so they can be called clones. Hence, the mother cell is diploid, so diploid embryo forms.
