Question

Which one of the following is a true match?

• A. Composite fruit- Pineapple
• B. Aggregate fruit- Pineapple
• C. True fruit- Apple
• D. False fruits- Mango

Answer 1

The correct option is A Composite fruit- Pineapple

Pineapple is a composite fruit which develops from an intercalary spike inflorescence and thus is a sorosis. A sorosis develops from a catkin, spike or spadix type of inflorescence.
Apple develops from a ripened thalamus and is a false fruit.

Mango develops from a ripened ovary and is a true fruit.

The correct answer is 'Composite fruit - pineapple'.
