Answer 1

The growth of plants is regulated by "plant hormones." There are primarily 9 plant hormones and these are: ethylene, salicylic acid, cytokinins, auxin, abscisic acid, gibberellins, strigolactones, nitrous oxide and brassinosteroids. Fruit-ripening is highly associated with "ethylene." These hormones also affect the yield production.

The image above shows how the two fruits became bigger from left to right. This portrays the fruits' ripening.
