In a few species, fruits develop without fertilisation. This process of formation of fruit without fertilisation is called parthenocarpy.Banana is one such example.The fruit developed by such method is generally seedless. So they are not called true fruit but parthenocarpic fruit. Parthenocarpy generally occurs for unpollinated flowers.
An apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction including seed formation but does not involve fusion of gametes. Progeny formed by apomixis is genetically similar to the parent.
