Question

• A. Asexual reproduction
• B. Parthenogenesis
• C. Triploid
• D. Cross pollination

Answer 1

The correct option is B Parthenogenesis

Seedless fruits in the banana are produced through parthenocarpy which is a type of parthenogenesis. The inflorescence contains clusters of flowers. The ovary of flower develops into a seedless fruit by parthenocarpy. The female flowers of the inflorescence present on the true stem mature and develop into fruit without fertilization of gametes while the male flowers produce pollen which may or may not be sterile.

So, the correct answer is option B.
