Question

A simple one-seeded fruit having pappus is

• A. Achene
• B. Cypsela
• C. Nut
• D. Legume

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cypsela

Cypsela is a type of single seeded dry fruit having several hair like structures attached to the fruit known as pappus. Pappus helps in dispersal of the fruit and is a modification of calyx.

Achene is single seedeed dry fruit but lacks hair like structures(pappus).

Nut and legumes lack pappus as well.

So, the correct answer is 'Cypsela'.
