Question

In true polyembryony, where do multiple embryos develop?

Options

• Within the same ovule or embryo sac

• From the nucellus tissue only

• From separate embryo sacs in different ovules

• From the integuments only

Answer 1

True polyembryony is characterized by multiple embryos developing within the same ovule or embryo sac. This contrasts with false polyembryony, where multiple embryos develop from separate embryo sacs present in the same ovule. Examples of true polyembryony include Opuntia and Mangifera (Mango).
