Select the correct option from the codes given below:
This question is based upon the climacteric, which is a stage of fruit ripening. The climacteric is a stage of fruit ripening associated with ethylene production and cell respiration rise. Apples, bananas, melons, apricots, tomatoes (among others) are climacteric fruit. Citrus, grapes, strawberries are non-climacteric (they ripen without ethylene and respiration bursts). The fruits continue to respire even after harvesting and these results in the breakdown of the tissues. When a fruit is cut more oxygen is available for respiration so statement 2 is correct. The rate of increased respiration comes along with concomitant increase in release in Ethylene. The rate in increased ethylene comes with the following results:
Thus all the statements in the above question are correct.
