Question

A fruit that develops from a single flower with a syncarpous pistil is

• A. Simple fruit
• B. Aggregate fruit
• C. Multiple fruit
• D. Pseudocarp

Answer 1

The correct option is A Simple fruit

• There are three types of fruits on the basis of the structure of the ovary. The three types are simple, aggregate and composite fruit.
• If the fruit is developed from a single ovary of a single flower, the fruit is called simple fruit.
• Syncarpous means there is a single fused ovary. This ovary will develop into a fruit and the ovules will develop into seeds.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
