Question

Which plant will lose its economic value, if its fruits are produced by induced parthenocarpy?
A) Grape               
B) Pomegranate
C) Orange             
D) Banana

Answer 1

Hint:Parthenocarpy is the process of growing fruits without fertilization, thus seed will not form which means the fruits will be seedless. It promotes production and further maturation of a fruit through the help of certain growth hormones. Thus, it is a type of asexual reproduction.
Complete step-by-step solution:
The advantages of parthenocarpy

• • This is healthier and produces effects more quickly.

• enhances quality and offers seedless fruits.

• It lowers the cultivation's overall cost.

• As a result, crop productivity is increased without applying organic pesticides.

• The fruits produced are larger and plant growth regulators are natural.

Grapes with no seeds are grown from cuttings. The term "cuttings" refers to severed pieces of a vine that has contracted the genetic disorder that makes it develop grapes without seeds.
The vegetative sections of the plants are where the new banana plant develops. In the case of oranges, there are other nuclear cell embryos in addition to the sexually generated ones. Therefore, the orange fruit has a lot of seeds.
The fruit of the banana bears no seeds and develops without ovule fertilization. This is due to the sterility of the male flowers.
The pomegranate's edible portions are the seeds with fleshy testa. In the event of induced parthenocarpy, no seeds will develop, leaving the fruit seedless. As a result, they are rendered useless and lose economic significance.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Note:
A good example of parthenocarpy is the banana. The bananas that are created through this natural process are sterile, develop without functioning ovaries, and do not generate seeds, thus they must spread vegetatively. Other naturally occurring examples of parthenocarpy include figs and pineapples.
