Polyembryony and Apomictic Embryos — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptIn such species each ovule contains many embryos. Occurrence of more than one embryo in a seed is referred to as polyembryony. Take out some seeds of orange and squeeze them. Observe the many embryos of different sizes and shapes from each seed. Count the number of embryos in each seed. What would be the genetic nature of apomictic embryos? Can they be called clones?
Match the Column Column I A. Citrus and Mango B. Apomixis C. Asexual reproduction mimicking sexual reproduction D. Polyembryony Column II i. Seed formation without fertilisation ii. More than one embryo in a seed iii. Examples of polyembryony iv. Apomixis
