Question

Why banana is considered as a good example of parthenogenetic fruit?

Answer 1

Parthenocarpy:

1. Parthenocarpy is the process of growing or developing fruits without the use of pollination or fertilization.
2. The seeds are removed from the fruits produced by this method. In flowering plants, it is often referred to as asexual reproduction.

Banana is known as parthenogenetic fruit because:

1. It develops without any gamete fusion.
2. The ovary is stimulated to develop fruits without fertilization by pollination alone and the presence of some internal hormone concentration.
