The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In Pinus, many embryos are formed from a single zygote, which is known as," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the concepts related to embryo formation in plants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question is asking about a specific phenomenon in Pinus where multiple embryos develop from a single zygote. 2. **Reviewing the Options**: - **Option 1: Simple Polyembryony**: This term usually refers to the formation of one embryo from one fertilized egg. Since the question specifies multiple embryos, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Polyembryony**: This term refers to the occurrence of multiple embryos developing from a single zygote. In the case of Pinus, this is the correct description as multiple embryos can arise from the cleavage of the zygote. - **Option 3: Polyspermy**: This term refers to the fertilization of an egg by multiple sperm cells. This does not relate to the formation of multiple embryos from a single zygote, making this option incorrect. - **Option 4: Apogamy**: This term refers to the formation of an embryo without fertilization. Since the question specifies that we are dealing with a zygote, this option is also incorrect. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: After analyzing all options, the correct answer is **Option 2: Polyembryony**, as it accurately describes the phenomenon where multiple embryos develop from a single zygote in Pinus. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Polyembryony**.
