Question

Oranges can be produced by processes like Apomixis and Polyembryony. State two differences between these processes.

Answer 1

Sr No.	Apomixis	Polyembryony
1.	It is a form of asexual reproduction where seeds are formed without fertilisation.	It is a condition in which multiple embryos form within a single seed.
2.	Only one embryo is formed from the diploid egg cell without meiosis or fertilisation, e.g., Grasses, Asteraceae etc.	Multiple embryos can be formed, some from fertilisation (zygotic) and others from other tissues (non-zygotic), e.g., citrus, mango, etc.
