What is common between vegetative reproduction and apomixis?
What is common between vegetative reproduction and apomixis?
Updated On: Jun 23, 2024
- both are applicable to only dicot plants
- both bypass the flowering phase
- both occur round the year
- both produce progeny identical to the parent.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Apomixis is a reproductive process in plants that superficially resembles normal sexual reproduction but in which there is no fusion of gametes. The embryos develop simply by division of a diploid cell the ovule. So, the progenies produced are identical to the parent. In vegetative reproduction also progenies produced are identical to the parent.

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Sexual reproduction in flowering plants takes place or happens when the production of a new organism occurs from two parents by making use of their gametes or sex cells. Both sexual and asexual reproduction can be found in plants. Nearly all flowering plants reproduce sexually. Flowers play a captious role in the process as it carries both the male and female reproductive parts commonly known as androecium and gynoecium respectively.
An individual flower comprises the following parts -
- Pedicle
- Calyx
- Petals
- Sepals
- Stamen
- Pistil
- Receptacle
