Detailed Solution

Statement I is true.  Parthenocarpic fruits are indeed seedless or may contain undeveloped or non-functional seeds. Parthenocarpy is a phenomenon where fruits develop without fertilization, meaning that they do not require pollination and the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg) to form seeds. Since seeds are not formed, the resulting parthenocarpic fruits are typically seedless.

Statement II is also true.  Parthenocarpic fruits are indeed formed from the ovary of a flower, just like other fruits. The key difference is that in parthenocarpy, fruit development occurs without the usual fertilization process.
