Match the categories of apomixis given in Column I with examples given in Column II.
Choose the correct option.
| Column- I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| A) Non-recurrent | I) Lemon |
| B) Adventive | II) Nicotiana |
| C) Recurrent | III) Taraxacum |
Options
- AA - II, B - I, C - III
- BA - III, B - I, C - II
- CA - III, B - II, C - I
- DA - I, B - II, C - III
Correct answer
A. A - II, B - I, C - III
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.
Therefore, the correct matching is A - II, B - I, C - III.
Answer: A - II, B - I, C - III
