Step-by-step explanation:

according to me the chemical ethylene is very minimal on the pericarp layers of fruits. ethylene cannot penetrate into the fruit, thus can never pollute the fruits. This chemical ethylene is just a pesticide to keep the fruit harvest safe from flees

Answer:

The effect of ethylene gas upon fruit is a resulting change in texture (softening), color and other processes. Thought of as an aging hormone, ethylene gas not only influences the ripening of fruit but may also cause plants to die, generally occurring when the plant is damaged in some manner.
