Step-by-step solution
Non-recurrent apomixis occurs when the embryo develops from a haploid cell (like an unfertilized egg) of a normal embryo sac, resulting in a sterile plant. Example: Nicotiana . Adventive embryony occurs when embryos develop directly from diploid sporophytic cells outside the embryo sac, such as the nucellus or integuments. Example: Lemon ( Citrus ). Recurrent apomixis occurs when a diploid embryo sac is formed without meiosis, and the diploid egg develops into an embryo without fertilization. Example: Taraxacum . T
