A dicotyledonous plant bears flowers but never produces fruits and seeds. The most probable cause for the above situation is:
1. | Plant is dioecious and bears only pistillate flowers. |
2. | Plant is dioecious and bears both pistillate and staminate flowers. |
3. | Plant is monoecious. |
4. | Plant is dioecious and bears only staminate flowers. |

The phenomenon observed in some plants wherein parts of the sexual apparatus are used for forming embryos without fertilisation is called
1. | Parthenocarpy | 2. | Apomixis |

In a type of apomixis known as adventive embryony, embryos develop directly from:
1. Nucellus or integument
2. Zygote
3. Synergids of antipodals of embryo sac
4. Accessory embryo sac in the ovule
Parthenocarpic fruits are produced by:
1. | Treating plants with phenyl Mercuric acetate. |
2. | Treating plants with low concentrations of gibberellic acid and auxin. |
3. | Removing androecium of flowers before releasing pollen grains. |
4. | Raising plants from vernalised seeds. |
