Answer the following question from the figure I and II.

Identify the parthenocarpic fruit from the following.

Banana

The correct answer is Option (4) → Banana

There are a few species in which fruits develop without fertilisation. Such 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.

The other options:

A true fruit is a fruit which develops from the mature and ripened ovary post fertilisation. The seeds of the fruit are developed from the ovule which is inside the ovary.Example: tomato

The fruit which is developed from any other floral part of the flower along with ovary or without ovary is known as false fruit. For example, in some fruits like apple, strawberry, cashew the edible part of the fruit is the fleshy receptacle/ thalamus.
