An irregular mode of reproduction resulting in the development of an embryo without fertilization is called

(I) parthenogenesis

(II) apogamy

(III) sporophytic budding

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

  • Only I

  • Only II

  • II and III

  • I, II and III


D.

I, II and III

In parthenogenesis formation of fruit occurs without fertilisation In apogamy haploid (n) vegetative cell forms embryo without gametogenesis and fertilisation, In sporophytic budding diploid (2n) vegetative cell forms embryo from bud by vegetative reproduction Thus, all of these processes are irregular modes of reproduction.

Unisexuality of flowers prevents

  • Autogamy, but not geitonogamy

  • Both geitonogamy and xenogamy

  • Geitonogamy, but not xenogam

  • Autogamy and geitonogamy


Pappus helps in the dispersal of pollen in

  • Asteraceae

  • Brassicaceae

  • Malvaceae

  • Solanaceae


The one advantage of cleistogamy is

  • It leads to greater genetic diversity

  • Seed dispersal is more efficient and wide spread

  • seed set is not dependent on pollinators

  • Each visit of pollinator results in the transfer of hundreds of pollen grains


Rarely among angiosperms, the pollen grains influenced the endosperm. This is called as

  • Meta xenia

  • Nemec phenomenon

  • Xenia

  • Mesogamy
