Parthenocarpic fruit III. Develops without fertilization IV. Form seeds without fertilization Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-I, B-II, C-III
- BA-II, B-I, C-III
- CA-I, B-III, C-II
- DA-I, B-II, C-IV
Correct answer
A. A-I, B-II, C-III
Step-by-step solution
True fruits develop only from the ovary (A-I). False fruits are those where the thalamus or other floral parts contribute to fruit formation (B-II). Parthenocarpic fruits develop without fertilization and are generally seedless (C-III). The formation of seeds without fertilization is called apomixis (IV), which is distinct from parthenocarpy. Answer: A-I, B-II, C-III
