Q. What is common between vegetative reproduction and Apomixis ?
A) Both occur round the year
B) Both produce progeny identical to the parent
C) Both are applicable to only dicot plants
D) Both bypass the flowering phase
Explanation
[Solution from source] Neither vegetative reproduction nor apomixis involves meiosis and fusion of gametes, so both give progeny genetically identical to the parent. Apomixis forms seeds and so does not bypass flowering, and neither process is restricted to dicots. Answer (2).
