You have certainly observed different types of fruits. Name some of the familiar fruits which possess the following features.

Fruits are the fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. These are developed from the ovary after fertilisation. A number of changes take place in the colour, taste, and physical appearance of fruits in their stages of growth and maturation. Examples of fruits with a combination of given features can be tabulated as follows: Features Examples Any two fruits which are very juicy and very sweet when ripe Watermelon, Mango Any two fruits, which are very juicy and very sour even when ripe Lemon, Grapefruit Any two fruits, which are very juicy and astringent when ripe Maru, Green apple Any two fruits, which are eaten as vegetables when unripe but cannot be eaten as fruits when they ripen Cucumber, Eggplant Any two fruits, which are eaten although they are not juicy Avocado, Banana Any two fruits, which are eaten as vegetables when unripe but can be eaten as fruits when ripe Papaya, Mango

Fruits are the fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. These are developed from the ovary after fertilisation. The following parts are found from the outside to inside a fruit: 1. First part Exocarp 2. Second part Mesocarp 3. Third part Endocarp 4. Fourth part Juicy, succulent, fleshy part 5. Fifth part Seed

Which fruit shows the following characters. Description of fruit Name of fruit Nature of fruit More example A pedicel, a single structure with one seed Mango This type of fruit is called simple fruit. A pedicel with many parts above, parts are separable each part have a seed Custard Apple This type of fruit is called aggregate fruit. A pedicel with many parts above, these parts are inseparable, each part contains a separate seed. Jackfruit This type of fruit is called compound fruit.

The fruit is the mature or ripened ovary, developed after fertilisation. There is a great variation in the shape, size, and structure of fruits. Broadly, they are divided into three groups: Simple fruit (formed from a flower having a single pistil) Aggregate fruit (formed from a flower having poly-carpellary gynoecium i.e. each carpel remains separated) Compound fruit (formed from the whole inflorescence i.e. the bunch of flowers) Based on the above description, some examples of these fruits are as follows: Description of fruit Name of fruit Nature of fruit More example A pedicel, a single structure with one seed Mango This type of fruit is called simple fruit. Plums, Peaches A pedicel with many parts above, parts are separable each part have a seed Custard Apple This type of fruit is called aggregate fruit. Blackberries, strawberries A pedicel with many parts above, these parts are inseparable, each part contains a separate seed. Jackfruit This type of fruit is called compound fruit.
