Assertion: In apomixis, plants of new genetic variation are produced.
Reason: In apomixis, reductional division takes place.

The correct option is D Both assertion and reason are false
Apomixis is a special mechanism to produce seeds without fertilisation. This is the formation of a new individual through asexual reproduction without involving syngamy and meiosis. Apomixis can be considered as a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction but do not follow the reductional division of gametes as well as there is no syngamy like sexual reproduction. This is an asexual mode, so the progeny formed are identical to their parent as there is no reductional division/ meiosis, nor intermixing of genes. Hence there is no variation among the offspring and parent.
