A) caryopsis
B) cypsela
C) cremocarp
D) capsule
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Cremocarp is schizocarpic fruit (simple dry, many seeded fruit, which breaks up into one seeded part. One seeded indehiscent part is called mericarp, while dehiscent one seeded part is known as cocci), in which fruit breaks up into two mericarps, which remain attached to central axis or carpophore by means of stylopod, eg, coriander, fennel etc. In caryopsis fruit, pericarp is fused with testa completely. Ovary is monocarpellary, superior, unilocular and uniovulated, eg, wheat, rice, maize etc. In cypsela, pericarp is fused with thalamus as the ovary is inferior. It develops from bicarpellary, unilocular and uniovulated ovary. Capsule develops from multicarpellary, syncarpous ovary. Dehiscence occurs by many ways, eg, cotton, linseed, opium etc.
