A fruit that develops only from the ovary is called a true fruit. Mango is a type of true fruit.

Along with the ripened ovary if some other parts of the flower like the thalamus contribute in the formation of fruit, then such fruits are called false fruits.
The fleshy edible part in the apple develops from thalamus. Apple is an example of false fruit.

Formation of seeds without fertilisation is called apomixis. It is observed in certain grasses.

Fruits that are formed without fertilisation are called parthenocarpic fruits. Parthenocarpic fruits are seedless.
For example - banana.
