The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Parthenocarpy**: - Parthenocarpy is the process of fruit development without fertilization. This means that the fruit can develop without the need for seeds. - Fruits that develop through parthenocarpy are typically seedless. 2. **Role of Gibberellins**: - Gibberellins are a type of plant hormone (phytohormone) that play various roles in plant growth, including seed germination and flowering. - However, gibberellins are not primarily responsible for inducing parthenocarpy. 3. **Identifying the Correct Hormone**: - The hormone that is mainly responsible for promoting parthenocarpy is Auxin, not gibberellins. - Auxin helps in the development of seedless fruits by stimulating the growth of the ovary into a fruit without fertilization. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the statement "Gibberellins cause parthenocarpy in some types of fruits" is incorrect. - The correct hormone that induces parthenocarpy is Auxin.
