Question

why apple is false fruit and banana is a parthenocarpic fruit

Answer 1

• If any part of the flower other than the ovary forms a part of the fruit, it is a false fruit. Since apple develops from the thalamus, therefore it is categorized as a false fruit.
• The fruit of banana is formed from ovary. So, it is a true fruit. But the ovary develops into fruit without fertilization. So, it is a parthenocarpic fruit.
