Question

If a flower with many ovaries is fertilised. What type of fruit is formed?

• A. Simple fruit
• B. False fruit
• C. Aggregate fruit
• D. Multiple fruits

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Aggregate fruit

If a flower with many ovaries is fertilised then the type of fruit that is formed is an aggregate fruit. If a fruit is formed from a flower with one ovary then it is called simple fruit. If a fruit is formed from any other part of the flower like the pedicel or the thalamus then it is called the false fruit. If one fruit is developed from an inflorescence then that type of fruit is multiple fruits.
