MEDIUM
Statement - '': Apomixis is seen in a few flowering plants such as some species of Asteraceae and grasses.
Statement - '': Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction.
Statement - '': In some species of apomictic seeds, the diploid egg cell is formed without reduction division.

Nucellar polyembryony is seen in the species of
MEDIUM
During fertilisation in plants the male and female gametes unite, triggering the process of cell division followed by seed formation. A gene , expressed only in the male gamete, is responsible for eliciting rapid cell division. A researcher overexpressed the gene in the female gamete that resulted in the multiplication of the female gamete into an embryo and then the seed. The plants obtained from these seeds were genetically identical to the parent. This phenomenon is commonly seen in a few select plants naturally, and is known as
