Question

Which of the following is an example of a parthenocarpic fruit?

Options

• Tomato

• Mango

• Apple

• Banana

Answer 1

Banana is a parthenocarpic fruit that develops without fertilisation, producing seedless fruit. Seedless watermelon is another example of a parthenocarpic fruit. In bananas, the fruit develops from the unfertilised ovary, and the absence of seeds is a desirable trait for cultivation and consumption.
