Options
A.caryopsis
B.cypsela
C.berry
D.cremocarp
Solution
Cypsela is dry indehiscent single-seeded fruit develops from an unilocular, single ovulate inferior ovary of bicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium possessing basal placentation. The fruit wall develops from pericarp and thalamus and is thin and remains attached to the seed at one oint e.g., Helianthus.
Caryopsis are dry indehiscent, small, single seeded fruit develop from unilocular, single ovuled, superior ovary of multicarpellary gynoecium. It differs from typical achenes as their percarp is completely fused with the seed coat testa, eg, Poaceae.
Cremocarp are bilocular and two seeded schizocarpic fruits (small, dry) developed from inferior ovary of bicarpellary, syncarpous gynoeecium possessig persistant stylopodium, eg, Apiaceae.
Berry is a fleshy, indehiscent few to multiseded fruit derived from multicarpellary syncarrpous gynoecium. The fleshy pericarp of berry consists of epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp.
