Question: ) Which type of parthenocarpy is found in edible banana?
Options:
Vegetative parthenocarpy
Stimulative parthenocarpy
Stenospermocarpy
All
• Edible bananas undergo vegetative parthenocarpy. Here's why:
-Parthenocarpy: Fruit development without fertilization.
-Vegetative Parthenocarpy: This type of parthenocarpy occurs without pollination or stimulation from other factors. The ovary develops into a fruit without the need for fertilization.
-Banana Parthenocarpy: Edible bananas are seedless and develop through vegetative parthenocarpy. Pollination or fertilization is not required for fruit development.
• Other Options Explained:
-B. Stimulative Parthenocarpy: This type of parthenocarpy some stimulus (like chemicals) for fruit development.
-C. Stenospermocarpy: In this case, seed development stops after fertilization, resulting in seedless fruit.
