Question

A true fruit is the one in which the, fleshy part of the fruit is derived from

• A. Thalamus
• B. Ovary
• C. Inflorescene axis
• D. Apocarpous gynoccium

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Ovary

A true fruit is the one in which the fleshy part of the fruit is derived from the ovary. For example, mango. A false fruit or pseudo-carp is derived from the floral parts other than ovary. Jackfruit and pineapple develop from the entire inflorescence. Apple develops from the thalamus. When the gynoecium has free and unfused carpel it is known as apocarpous.

So, the correct answer is option B.
