Vedclass · Answer

(C) Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction,where seeds are produced without fertilization. In hybrid crops,the main problem is that the desirable traits segregate in the next generation,meaning farmers must buy new hybrid seeds every year. If an apomictic gene is introduced into these hybrids,the seeds produced will be clones of the parent plant. Consequently,there will be no segregation of characters,and farmers can harvest and reuse these seeds for subsequent plantings without losing the hybrid vigor or desired traits.
