Here are the solutions to the questions:

Question 39:
Let's evaluate each statement:

• I. Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction which mimics sexual reproduction. This statement is correct. Apomixis produces seeds without fertilization, thus mimicking the outcome of sexual reproduction (seed formation) but without the genetic recombination.
• II. In Apomixis seeds develop either from diploid egg cell or from cells of nucellus. This statement is correct. Apomixis can involve the development of an embryo from an unfertilized diploid egg cell (e.g., diplospory or apospory) or from somatic cells of the nucellus or integuments (adventitious embryony).
