Question

The fruit formed from the fusion of inflorescence is called as

• A. Simple fruit
• B. Aggregate fruit
• C. Pseudo fruit
• D. Composite fruit

Answer 1

The correct option is D Composite fruit

Multiple fruits also called as collective fruits, are fruits that are formed from a cluster of flowers called inflorescence. Each flower in the inflorescence produces a fruit, but these mature into a single mass. An multiple fruit is a fruit that develops from the merger of several ovaries that were separate in a single flower. Not all flowers with multiple ovaries form aggregate fruit; the ovaries of some flowers do not become tightly joined together to make a larger fruit.
