✓

Answer

Form of asexual reproduction producing seeds without fertilisation/type of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction to form seeds without fertilisation.

Parental characters are maintained in the progeny/offspring (as there is no meiosis/segregation of characters).

If desired hybrid seeds are made apomictic, the farmers can keep on using the hybrid seeds to raise new crops year after year.
