What Does The Following Diagram Indicate?
Options:
A .  Apomixis technique can not be used to produce pure lines
B .  Apomixis is similar to self pollination and can lead to stagnation of species
C .  Apomixis technique is more advantageous than sexual reproduction to produce new variety
D .  None of the above
Answer: Option B
:
B
In many plants, the normal process of sexual reproduction is substituted by an asexual process and as a result seeds are produced without fertilisation. This phenomenon of substituting the usual sexual process by asexual methods is known as Apomixis and plants which show this condition are called apomictic plants. Self-pollination and apomixis lead to no genetic recombination and produce pure lines similar to the parent plant.
