Question

• A. Regma
• B. Lomentum
• C. Samaroid
• D. Capsule

Answer 1

The correct option is A Regma

The dry fruit which develops from a superior tri- or polycaparpellary ovary and the fruit splits up into as many parts, called as cocci, is called as regma fruit. The fruit is usually a schizocarp, but sometimes a drupe. A typical schizocarp is the regma, a capsular fruit with three or more cells, each of which splits open at maturity into separate parts and then breaks away explosively, scattering the small seeds.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
