A. True to type

B. Sexually produced

C. Both A and B

D. None of the above

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Characteristics of apomictic seedlings are True to type.
Apomixis is an asexual means of plant reproduction and is found in many species, especially in fruit crops. The process does not involve the union of male and female gametes and therefore there is no genetic recombination.
Apomictic seedlings are identical to the mother plant and similar to plants raised by other vegetative means because such plants have the same genetic make-up as that of the mother plant.
