The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Parthenocarpy**: - Parthenocarpy refers to the development of fruits without fertilization. This results in fruits that are either seedless or contain non-viable seeds. 2. **Types of Parthenocarpy**: - There are two main types of parthenocarpy: - **Natural Parthenocarpy**: This occurs without any special treatment. Seedless fruits are produced directly from the ovaries in the absence of pollination and fertilization. - **Induced Parthenocarpy**: This involves the production of seedless fruits through external treatments. For example, flowers can be sprayed with water extracts of pollen grains or growth-promoting hormones (like gibberellins or auxins). 3. **Examples of Parthenocarpy**: - **Natural Parthenocarpy**: Examples include bananas, grapes, and pineapples. - **Induced Parthenocarpy**: Examples include tomatoes and apples. 4. **Evaluating Statements**: - The statements regarding parthenocarpy can be evaluated as follows: - **Statement 1**: Formation of fruits without fertilization - **Correct**. - **Statement 2**: Development of seedless fruits such as banana, grapes, and orange - **Correct**. - **Statement 3**: Auxins and gibberellins are used to induce parthenocarpy in different plants - **Correct**. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since all the statements are correct, the answer is that all of these statements regarding parthenocarpy are correct.
