The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement, we will analyze each provided option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Examine the First Statement:** - **Statement:** Apomixis is observed in classes. - **Analysis:** Apomixis is indeed a form of asexual reproduction that occurs without fertilization and does not involve meiosis. This statement is correct. 2. **Examine the Second Statement:** - **Statement:** Mango is a one-seeded fruit. - **Analysis:** This statement is misleading. While mangoes typically have a single large seed, they are classified as drupe fruits, which can contain more than one seed in some varieties. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 3. **Examine the Third Statement:** - **Statement:** Hard seed coat is meant for protection. - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. The hard seed coat does serve to protect the internal parts of the seed from environmental factors, including drying out and entry of insects. 4. **Examine the Fourth Statement:** - **Statement:** Most of the fruits are parthenocarpic fruits. - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. While parthenocarpy (development of fruit without fertilization) does occur, it is not true that most fruits are parthenocarpic. Many fruits develop through fertilization and contain seeds. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the incorrect statements are the second and fourth options. However, since the question asks for a single incorrect statement, the most misleading one is the second statement: "Mango is a one-seeded fruit." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **Mango is a one-seeded fruit.** ---
