Question

Differentiate between the following.

True and false fruits

Answer 1

2. A false fruit is a fruit in which the pulpy edible part is not the wall of the ovary but a floral part like the thalamus.

True fruit	False fruit
True fruit refers to a fruit that grows only from the ovary.	False fruit occurs when additional floral parts, such as tepals, bracts, or the thalamus, participate in the formation of the fruit in addition to the ovary.
True fruits have seeds.	False fruits are parthenocarpic, which means they don't have seeds.
The fertilized ovary is the only component of the plant that is responsible for fruit formation.	Floral parts such as the perianth, peduncle, and thalamus are involved in fruit development.
Examples: - Mango, Kiwi fruit, Blueberry, Plum, etc.	Examples: - Strawberry, Figs, Mulberry, etc.
