Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement about Parthenocaric fruit is most correct?
A
It develops from the ovary and bears seeds
B
Fruit develops seed without fertilization
C
no seeds are developed in the fruit and formed without fertilization
D
Parthenocarpic fruit and false fruit are same
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The answer is D-seedless without fertilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parthenocarpy is the natural or artificially induced production of fruits without fertilisation of ovules, which makes them seedless. Banana is one such parthenocarpic fruit and it is also seedlesss.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parthenocarpy refers to the development of fruit without fertilization. The process produces a sterile fruit that lacks seeds. This means that the pollination results in a production of berries that are completely seedless (Colova-Tsolova et al., 2003). Parthenocarpic seedless berries are mostly small.

Detailed explanation-4: -If an ovary develops into fruit without fertilization, it is called parthenocarpic fruit. Parthenocarpy (literally meaning virgin fruit) is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilization of ovules. The fruit is therefore seedless. All other fruits are formed as a result of fertilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parthenocarpy could be defined as a process by which fruits are produced without the process of fertilization of ovules. A parthenocarpic fruit is devoid of embryo and endosperm and therefore does not have any seeds. That is why they are also known as seedless or virgin fruits.
