Best Answer

Parthenogenesis is the process by which a gamete (usually female) develops to form an individual. As a result, the individual is haploid, eg.drones in bees. Parthenocarpy is the process by which a fruit develops without fertilisation. As fertilisation has not taken place, the fruit is seedless and does not contribute to sexual reproduction.
