Answer:

Why do climacteric produce ripen after being attached from the mother plant while non climacteric produce directly deteriorates?

Non-climacteric fruit ripening-refers to those fruits which ripen only while still attached to the parent plant. Their eating quality suffers if they are harvested before they are fully ripe because their sugar and acid content does not increase further. Respiration rate slows gradually during growth and after harvest.
