Ques. 1AIPMT 2014

An aggregate fruit is one which develops from

  1. multicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium
  2. multicarpellary apocarpous gynoecium
  3. complete inflorescence
  4. multicarpellary superior ovary.

Answer

(2) multicarpellary apocarpous gynoecium

Solution

An aggregate fruit is a group of fruitlets (etaerio) formed from the free carpels of a single flower.

⇒ Free carpels mean a multicarpellary apocarpous gynoecium (e.g. strawberry, custard apple, lotus).

⇒ A fruit from a whole inflorescence is a composite (multiple) fruit; a syncarpous gynoecium gives a simple fruit.
