Which of the following statements about apomixis is wrong? Apomictic seeds are produced without fertilisation. Apomictic embryos and zygotic embryos both are diploid Apomictic embryos are genetically identical to zygotic embryos
Answers
Answer:

Explanation:
apomictic zygotes are identical to mother whereas zygote contains genetic material from pollen and egg ie. from both parents
Answer:
☆. Apomixis in flowering plants is defined as the asexual formation of a seed from the maternal tissues of the ovule, avoiding the processes of meiosis and fertilization, leading to embryo development.
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.
So, the correct answer is 'Without fertilisation diploid embryo forms'.
