Vedclass · Answer

(B) In $Non-recurrent$ $apomixis$,the megaspore mother cell undergoes normal meiosis to form a haploid embryo sac.Since the embryo sac is haploid,the embryo formed from it (if fertilization does not occur) is also haploid.Such haploid plants are generally sterile because they cannot undergo normal meiosis during gametogenesis due to the lack of homologous chromosome pairs.Therefore,the correct answer is $Non-recurrent$ $apomixis$.
