    The blood orange is a natural mutation of the orange which itself is a?

    • Semi breed

    • Nutrica

    • Hybrid

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Hybrid
    Explanation
    The blood orange is a natural mutation of the orange, which means it is not a separate species but rather a variation of the orange. Since it is a result of a mutation, it can be considered a hybrid as it combines the characteristics of the orange with the unique red pigmentation found in blood oranges. Therefore, the correct answer is hybrid.

    The skin can be tougher and harder to peel than that of other?

    • Types

    • Fruit

    • Oranges

    • Crops

    Correct Answer
    A. Oranges
    Explanation
    Oranges have a tough and hard-to-peel skin compared to other fruits. This is because oranges have a thicker outer layer called the peel, which is rich in pectin and protects the fruit inside. The peel of an orange is often difficult to remove due to its fibrous texture and adherence to the fruit. In contrast, many other fruits have thinner and more easily peelable skins.

    The distinctive dark flesh colour is due to the presence of?

    • Citrus

    • Anthocyanins

    • Brunnei

    • Nitrate

    Correct Answer
    A. Anthocyanins
    Explanation
    Anthocyanins are pigments that give plants, fruits, and vegetables their red, purple, or blue colors. In the case of citrus fruits, the distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanins. These pigments are synthesized in the fruit's peel and accumulate in the flesh as the fruit ripens. Anthocyanins not only contribute to the visual appeal of citrus fruits but also have antioxidant properties that are beneficial for human health.

    Blood oranges may have originated in China or the southern?

    • Asia

    • Japan

    • India

    • Mediterranean

    Correct Answer
    A. Mediterranean
    Explanation
    Blood oranges are believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region. This is because historical evidence suggests that blood oranges were first cultivated in Sicily, Italy. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, is ideal for the growth of blood oranges. Additionally, the name "blood orange" itself is derived from the deep red color of the fruit, which is reminiscent of the blood-red sunsets often seen in the Mediterranean. Therefore, the Mediterranean region is the most likely place of origin for blood oranges.
