What is common between vegetative reproduction and apomixis?
Correct answer: D. Both produce progeny identical to the parent
- A. Both are applicable to only dicot plants
- B. Both bypass the flowering phase
- C. Both occur round the year
- D. Both produce progeny identical to the parent
Explanation
Both vegetative reproduction and apomixis result in offspring that are genetically identical (clones) to the parent plant. In vegetative reproduction, parts of the parent plant, such as stems or roots, give rise to new plants with the same genetic makeup. In apomixis, seeds are produced without fertilization, leading to offspring that are genetic duplicates of the mother plant.

About Reproduction
Human reproduction covers the male and female reproductive organs, gamete formation, fertilization, implantation and hormonal regulation. The menstrual cycle includes ovarian and uterine changes controlled by pituitary and ovarian hormones, while sexually transmitted diseases are studied through their causes, transmission, symptoms, prevention and effects on fertility.
