The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In false polyembryony there is dash," we need to understand the concept of false polyembryony and how it differs from true polyembryony. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand Polyembryony - **Definition**: Polyembryony refers to the phenomenon where a single zygote develops into multiple embryos. - **Types**: There are two types of polyembryony: true polyembryony and false polyembryony. ### Step 2: Define False Polyembryony - **False Polyembryony**: In this case, multiple embryos arise from different embryo sacs rather than from a single zygote. - **Key Point**: Each embryo sac contains one embryo, but there are multiple embryo sacs. ### Step 3: Analyze the Options - **Option A**: "No additional embryo but only an artifact." - This is incorrect because false polyembryony does involve additional embryos. - **Option B**: "The additional embryo is haploid." - This is incorrect because the embryos are diploid, formed from the fusion of haploid gametes. - **Option C**: "There are two or more embryo sacs." - This is correct as false polyembryony involves multiple embryo sacs, each containing one embryo. - **Option D**: "An embryo sac contains two or more oospheres." - This is incorrect as it describes true polyembryony, where one embryo sac has multiple egg cells. ### Step 4: Conclusion - The correct answer is **Option C**: "There are two or more embryo sacs."
