Development of embryo from unfertilized egg is called as

  1. Parthenogenesis

  2. Apogamy

  3. Pseudogamy

  4. Parthenocarpy


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which the embryo grows and develops from egg without fertilization. Apogamy is a type of reproduction in which sporophyte develops from a gametophyte without fertilization. Parthenocarpy is the phenomenon of development of fruit without fertilization. In this, fruits are seedless. Pseudogamy is a form of reproduction in which the embryo develops from egg following the stimulus of pollination but without fertilization. It involves activation of egg by sperm but does not involve nuclear fusion. 

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
