A) banana
B) orange
C) lemon
D) pomegranate
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Parthenocarpy (GK. parthenos-virgm (false), Karpos-frmt) is the production and development of seedless fruits without fertilization of an egg in the ovary. Presently, a number of fruit varities have been altered genetically to undergo parthenocarpic development besides, hormonal treatment have been also found to induce parthenocarpy in certain plants. In Danana, orange, lemon, guava etc., seedless fruits are useful as there is no use of seeds in eating them. But m pomegranate, it is the seed coat of the seed which is fleshy and edible. So fruit is useless, without the seeds in it and thus, parthenocarpy makes no sense in pomegranate.
