  • 2. 

    Generally, fruits disseminate seed through ___________main means.

    • Four

    • Three

    • Five

    • Six

    Correct Answer
    A. Four
    Explanation
    Fruits generally disseminate seeds through four main means. This suggests that there are four common ways in which fruits ensure the dispersal of their seeds. These means could include wind dispersal, animal dispersal, water dispersal, or self-dispersal. Each of these methods allows seeds to be carried away from the parent plant, increasing the chances of successful germination and growth in new locations.

    Scientifically, cereal grains are a kind of fruits called ___________

    • Petiole 

    • Rhubarb

    • Eggplant

    • Caryopsis

    Correct Answer
    A. Caryopsis
    Explanation
    Cereal grains are scientifically classified as caryopsis. Caryopsis is a type of fruit where the seed coat is fused with the ovary wall, resulting in a single-seeded fruit. In the case of cereal grains, the seed coat and ovary wall are fused tightly, enclosing the seed within a protective outer layer. This characteristic distinguishes cereal grains from other types of fruits like petiole, rhubarb, and eggplant, which have different structures and classifications.

Paprika is made from dried and ground peppers, which are a type of berry.

    Which of these is odd concerning the layers of the pericarp?

    • Mesocarp

    • Ectocarp

    • Endocarp

    • Exocarp

    Correct Answer
    A. Ectocarp
    Explanation
    The term "odd" in this context refers to something that is different or does not belong to a particular group. In this case, the layers of the pericarp are typically referred to as the mesocarp, endocarp, and exocarp. Ectocarp, on the other hand, is not commonly used to describe the layers of the pericarp. Therefore, it is considered odd in this context.

    Rate this question:

    The outer and edible layer of fruits is called ___________

    • Endocarp

    • Pericarp

    • Epicarp

    • Mesocarp

    Correct Answer
    A. Pericarp
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Pericarp. The pericarp refers to the outer and edible layer of fruits. It is composed of three layers: the epicarp (outermost layer), the mesocarp (middle layer), and the endocarp (innermost layer). The pericarp protects the seeds and helps in seed dispersal.

  • 9. 

    Which group of fruits is the simplest compared to others?

    • Syncarpous fruits

    • Aggregate fruits

    • Acrocarpous fruits

    • Apocarpous fruits

    Correct Answer
    A. Apocarpous fruits
    Explanation
    Apocarpous fruits are the simplest compared to others because they are formed from a single carpel or pistil, which is the female reproductive structure of a flower. This means that each carpel develops into a separate fruit, resulting in multiple separate units within the fruit. In contrast, syncarpous fruits are formed from multiple fused carpels, aggregate fruits are formed from multiple separate carpels within a single flower, and acrocarpous fruits are formed from multiple carpels on different branches of the same plant. Therefore, apocarpous fruits have the least complexity in terms of their structure and formation.

    Berries are examples of which class of fruit?

    • Multiple fruits

    • Simple fruits

    • Aggregate fruits

    • Follicles

    Correct Answer
    A. Aggregate fruits
    Explanation
    Aggregate fruits are formed from multiple ovaries of a single flower. In the case of berries, they develop from a single flower with multiple ovaries, each ovary producing a small fruit that fuses together to form a larger fruit. Examples of aggregate fruits include strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
