Question

Which one is not a pseudocarp?

• A. Tomato
• B. Guava
• C. Apple
• D. Banana

Answer 1

The correct option is A Tomato

Tomato is a true berry which develops from a superior ovary with just ovary involved information of the fruit. It is thus a eucarp.

Guava and banana are false berries developing from inferior ovaries because of which the thalamus gets involved in formation of the fruit.

Apple is a pome in which the fruit develops from the thalamus.

Guava, banana and apple are thus pseudocarps.

So, the correct answer is 'Tomato'.
