Question

Single seeded fruit develops from

• A. Tricarpellary ovary
• B. Bicarpellary syncarpous ovary
• C. Multicarpellary syncarpous ovary
• D. Pistil having single ovule

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Pistil having single ovule

Each ovule in an ovary leads to formation of a seed upon fertilisation. Thus the pistil having a single ovule will produce a single seed.

Tricarpellary ovary will produce three, bicarpellary ovary will produce two and multicarpellary syncarpous ovary will produce multiple seeds.

So, the correct answer is 'Pistil having single ovule'.
