Amphimixis
D.
Apomixis
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Asexual reproduction includes apomixis.
Apomixis (asexual seed formation) is the result of a plant gaining the ability to bypass the most fundamental aspects of sexual reproduction: meiosis and fertilization.
Without the need for male fertilization, the resulting seed germinates a plant that develops as a maternal clone.
