Which of the following is INCORRECT for recurrent apomixis?

In recurrent apomixis, both the egg cell and the embryo are diploid because the embryo sac develops without meiosis. This can occur either from the megaspore mother cell (diplospory) or from any other cell of the nucellus (apospory).

Since meiosis does not take place, the egg cell is unreduced (diploid). The development of an embryo from a reduced (haploid) egg cell without fertilization is known as non-recurrent apomixis (haploid parthenogenesis).

Therefore, the statement that the embryo develops from a reduced egg cell is incorrect for recurrent apomixis.

Answer: Embryo develops from reduced egg cell
