Question

Plants having inferior ovary produce

• A. Berries
• B. Pseudocarps
• C. Seedless fruits
• D. Adventitious roots

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Pseudocarps

The plants which have inferior ovaries often lead to involvement of other structures like the thalamus in the formation of the frutis. They are thus called pseudocarps.

Berries or true berries in general develop from superior ovaries.

Seedless fruits develop without fertilisation of ovule and are parthenocarpic.

Adventitous roots are not formed by ovaries but are formed from the stem or other parts.

So, the correct answer is 'Pseudocarps'.
