Question

Which of the following can be termed as false fruits?

• A. Fruits that develop only from the ovary.
• B. Parthenocarpic fruits.
• C. Fruits that develop from other floral parts including ovary.
• D. Fruits that have no seeds.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fruits that develop from other floral parts including ovary.

A true fruit develops only from the ovary.
Along with the ovary if some other floral parts contribute to the formation of fruit then such fruits are called false fruits. False fruits do bear seeds.
Fruits that are formed without fertilisation are called parthenocarpic fruits and they are seedless.
