Question

In _______, the thalamus becomes the fleshy part of the fruit.

• A. true fruit
• B. fleshy fruit
• C. dry fruit
• D. false fruit

Answer 1

The correct option is D false fruit

The false fruit is a fruit, which develops from the parts of the flower-like base or thalamus, the perianth, etc., other than the ovary.
E.g. An apple is a false fruit as the fleshy edible part of an apple is formed from the ripened thalamus and not the ovary.
