Question

A fruit developing from a complete infl orescence is called

• A. composite fruit
• B. aggregate fruit
• C. false fruit
• D. amphisarca fruit

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

composite fruit

Answer 2

In botany, a composite fruit is a type of fruit that develops from a group of flowers that are clustered together in an inflorescence. Inflorescence is a flowering stalk that holds multiple flowers.

Here's how composite fruits form:

1. A group of flowers on an inflorescence are pollinated.
2. Instead of each flower developing into a single fruit, the ovaries of the flowers fuse along with other parts of the inflorescence.
3. The result is a single fruit that contains multiple seeds from the individual flowers.

Other answer choices are not correct because:

• Simple fruit: A simple fruit develops from a single flower with one carpel.
• Aggregate fruit: An aggregate fruit develops from a single flower with multiple carpels.
• Amphisarca fruit: I couldn't find a definition for amphisarca fruit in my search. It might be a misspelling of another term or a term not widely used in botany.

Thus, the right answer to this question is**** composite fruit.
