Question

Fruits have fructose for

• A. Attracting animals for seed dispersal
• B. Fruit ripening
• C. Maturation of seeds
• D. Nourishment of embryo

Answer 1

The correct option is A Attracting animals for seed dispersal

Fruits contain seeds which require means for dispersal to increase the chances of survival of the species. For this purpose, they evolutionary got modified to produce fleshy or pulpy sweet(because of fructose) fruits to attract animals or insects which can cause seed dispersal.

Ethylene is present in fruits for ripening of fruits.

Maturation of seed occurs with maturation of the seed.

Endosperm nourishes the embryo. So, the correct answer is 'attracting animals for seed dispersal'.
