Active research is going on in many laboratories around the world to understand the genetics of apomixis. What is the purpose of such active research?
(1) Hybrid plants are directly formed by apomixis
(2) Apomixis is the method to produce seed without fertilization
(3) To transfer apomictic genes into hybrid varieties which will prevent loss of hybrid vigour with successive years
(4) Apomixis produces genetically different individuals

Pollen tube releases the two male gamete into the:
(1) One male gamete in cytoplasm of synergids and other in cytoplasm of central cell
(2) Both in cytoplasm of central cell
(3) Cytoplasm of Antipodal cell
(4) Both in cytoplasm of synergids
