A fruit exhibiting both male and female trait is called
A.Heterozygous
B.Gynandromorph
C.Hemizygous
D.Gynander

Explanation

Solution

Botanically, a fruit and its related parts are a mature ovary. It typically contains seeds which have formed after fertilisation from the enclosed ovule, although development without fertilisation, called parthenocarpy, is known in bananas.

Complete answer:
Gynandromorph (the word gynandromorph, from the Greek "gyne" female, "andro" male, and "morph" form) is a person who exhibits both male and female sexual characteristics in the body.
There have been reported cases of gynandromorphism in humans, drosophila, silkworm, bees, butterflies, beetles, etc.

An occurrence in mitosis during early development is usually, but not always the cause of this phenomenon. Although the organism comprises only a few cells, its sex chromosomes are usually not separated by one of the dividing cells. This leads to sex chromosomes that cause male development in one of the two cells and chromosomes that cause female development in the other cell.

An XY cell undergoing mitosis, for instance, duplicates the chromosomes, becoming XXYY. This cell will usually split into two XY cells, but the cell can split into an X cell and an XYY cell on rare occasions. If this happens early in development, then X is a large portion of the cells and XYY is a large portion. Since X and XYY dictate distinct sexes, the organism has female tissue and male tissue.
If you plant an apple seed, completely random results will be generated by its offspring. Apples harvested from seeds produce what are called "extreme heterozygotes," or fruits that are often only distantly related to their parent DNA and show unpredictable features.

Hemizygous describes an individual or a fruit who, instead of the normal two, has only one member of a chromosome pair or chromosome segment.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: A gynandromorph, one side female and one side male, may have bilateral asymmetry. Alternatively, male and female tissue distribution can be more haphazard. Bilateral gynandromorph occurs in development very early, usually when there are between 8 and 64 cells in the organism. Later phases create a more random pattern
