Detailed explanation-1: -Reason: Formation of fruit without fertilization is called parthenocarpy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both apomixis and parthenocarpy are asexual modes of reproduction, apomixis is the formation of seeds whereas parthenocarpy is the formation of fruits without fertilization. Apomixis produces genetically identical mother cells whereas parthenocarpy produces genetically identical offsprings.

Detailed explanation-3: -Development of an embryo directly from an egg cell without fertilization is called as parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in many plants, some invertebrate animal species (including nematodes, water fleas, some scorpions, aphids, some bees and parasitic wasps).

Detailed explanation-4: -Apomixis is the process by which a fruit develops without fertilization.
