Question

A non-biology person is quite shocked to know that apple is a false fruit, mango is a true fruit  and banana is a seedless fruit. As a biology student how would you satisfy this person ? 

Answer 1

Fruit is a ripened ovary whereas seed develops from value. Mango is a true trait because lt develops only from the ovary of the flower. Apple is a false fruit because a here in this case alongwith ovary thalamus of flower also takes part in the formation of fruit. Banana is a seedless fruit as it develops without the stimulus of pollination and fertilization. Such fruits are also called as parthenocarpic fruits.
