Question

Example of an aggregate fruit is

• A. Custard apple
• B. Lack fruit
• C. Mulberry
• D. Pineapple

Answer 1

The correct option is A Custard apple

Fruit is a seed-bearing structure in flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) formed from the ovary after flowering. An aggregate fruit results from the joining together of several ovaries of the same flower. This process starts with a flower that contains several carpels with an equal number of ovaries. As the ovaries develop and increase in size they become attached together. In Annona squamosa (custard apple), the mesocarp of berries is edible.

So the correct option is 'custard apple'.
