Question

Class 12 - Biology - Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants Page 41

Answer 1

I will choose seed less fruits like banana because by using artificial Axuin hormone (plant hormone) we can produce only Seed-less fruit by the process called artificial parthenocarpy....

Answer 2

Hello,

Parthenocarpic fruits are seedless fruits. They are developed directly from ovary without any fertilization.

For example :- Banana , orange etc.

These are having high economic importance too.

Those plants in which seeds are formed are not selected for Inducing Parthenocarpy because otherwise it will have less economic importance.

Thanks!
