Best answer
Answer:
(a) Siphonogamy: The transfer of non-motile male gametes to the egg through a pollen tube is called siphonogamy (seen in angiosperms and gymnosperms).
(b) Parthenocarpy: The development of fruit without fertilization is called parthenocarpy; such fruits are seedless, e.g. banana, grapes. It can be induced by auxins or gibberellins.
