| (i) Why asexual reproduction does not produce the genetic variability? |
| (ii) Banana is a parthenocarpic fruit whereas oranges show polyembryony. How are they different from each other with respect to seeds? |
Answer:
(i) Asexual reproduction does not produce the genetic variability because only mitotic division occurs during asexual reproduction. (ii) Banana develops from an ovary without fertilization having non-viable seeds so it is called a parthenocarpic fruit. An orange contains seeds with more than one embryo, thus it shows polyembryony.
