Summary Introduction
To determine: The advantages of apomixis when compared with other forms of asexual reproduction.
Concept introduction: Flower is a reproductive part of a modified thick shoot of an angiosperm plant. In order to carry out the sexual reproduction, it involves the conversion of the shoot apical meristem into floral meristem. There involves various parts that make up the structure of a flower.
