Question: Recurrent apomixis is seen in?
Options:
Mango
Citrus
Jamun
Apple
✅ EXPLANATION::Mangoes exhibit recurrent apomixis, a form of asexual reproduction in which some seeds develop without fertilization, resulting in offspring genetically identical to the parent plant. In this unique process, embryos develop directly from the nucellus inside the ovary, bypassing the need for fertilization.
🔹Citrus: Citrus fruits typically reproduce sexually through pollination, not apomixis.
🔹Jamun: While some Jamun varieties show the potential for apomixis, it is not as well-established or widespread as in mangoes.
🔹Apple: Apples typically reproduce sexually and lack the mechanisms for recurrent apomixis.
