what is apomixis?

Solution:

Hans Winkler defined the process of apomixis as the substitution of the normal sexual mode of reproduction is plants with asexual reproduction without involving the process of fertilization of the male and female gametes. Apomixis can be described as a type of asexual reproduction which involves the participation of only single parent and occurs without the formation of sex organs. It doesn’t involve any meiosis type of division . No fusion of gametes occurs here. Importance of apomixis over sexual reproduction is that exact replica is produced of the parent plant.
