Summary Introduction
To review:
The formation of seedless grapes by and the role of flower in the phenomena of parthenocarpy.
Introduction:
The formation of seedless fruit varieties can be by parthenocarpy or by terminating the maturation of ovule to seeds. The seedless varieties can also be formed when the gametes formed are nonfunctional. The phenomena of parthenocarpy involve the production of seedless fruit varieties.

- Suppose that 100 pollen grains land on a stigma, and 50 mature seeds are formed in the fruit. What does this indicate about the pollination process and success? A) 100% success: 100 pollen grains grew to 50 ovules, two to each, and double fertilization occurred. B) 100% success: Only 50% of the pollen grains germinated, but each produced 2 sperms to complete double fertilization in 50 seeds. C) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 50 polar nuclei. D) 50% success: 50 sperm fertilized 50 eggs, and 50 sperm fused with 100 polar nuclei. correct answer and explanation why please.arrow_forwardDescribe a conifer pollen cone. Why is it a simple cone?
