Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Production and development of seedless fruits is called parthenocarpy. It is of two types, vegetative and stimulative. Apomixis is a mode of reproduction which does not involve formation of zygote through gametic fusion. It is, therefore, akin to asexual reproduction. In plants apomixis commonly mimics sexual reproduction but produce seeds without fertilisation e.g., some species of Asteraceae and grasses.
