KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 1. Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Now-a-days agricultural practice is expensive to the farmers as they need to purchase hybrid seeds every year. Which of the following strategies can be employed to overcome this problem?
- A Synthetic seeds
- B Production of Apomictic seeds
- C Conventional plant breeding
- D Parthenocarpy
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Production of Apomictic seeds
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Production of Apomictic seeds,
Apomixis is a kind of asexual reproduction that resembles sexual reproduction. In this, seeds are produced without fertilisation. This process, drasically reduce the cost of hybrid production, so that plant breeders produce new varieties of seeds more quickly at low cost.
