  1. Yes, it is observed in parthenocarpic fruits. The ‘seedless fruits’ that are available in the market such as pomegranate, grapes etc., are infact good examples. Flowers of these plants are sprayed by a growth
    hormone that induces fruit development even though fertilisation has not occurred. The ovules of such fruits, however, fail to develop
    into seeds.
