Parthenocarpic Fruits and Seedless Development — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptSuch fruits are called parthenocarpic fruits. Banana is one such example. Parthenocarpy can be induced through the application of growth hormones and such fruits are seedless.
Which of the following statements regarding parthenocarpy and fruit development are correct? S1: Parthenocarpic fruits are those that develop from the ovary without the prior process of fertilisation. S2: The application of certain growth hormones is a common method employed to induce parthenocarpy in fruits like grapes. S3: Naturally occurring parthenocarpic fruits, such as banana, are always seedless. S4: Parthenocarpy, being a form of asexual reproduction, leads to the production of progeny with novel genetic variations. S5: In fruits like apple and strawberry, the edible part arises from the thalamus, categorizing them as parthenocarpic fruits.
