Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Polyembryony — this matches (III) Orange. Orange seeds often have more than one embryo, some formed from nucellar cells.
(B) Parthenocarpy — this matches (IV) Banana. Banana fruits develop without fertilisation, so they are seedless.
(C) False Fruit — this matches (I) Apple. In apple the thalamus forms the fleshy part of the fruit.
(D) Embryo Sac — this matches (II) Female gametophyte. The functional megaspore develops into the embryo sac, which is the female gametophyte.
