    Question: Jackfruit and cocoa are examples of which type of fruit? (MCAER 2018)

    Options:

    Aggregate fruit
    Multiple fruit
    Simple fruit
    Vivipary

    ✅Explanation:
    Multiple fruits, also called collective fruits, are fruiting bodies formed from a cluster of flowers, the inflorescence. Each flower in the inflorescence produces a fruit, but these mature into a single mass. After flowering, the mass is called an infructescence. Examples are the fig, pineapple, mulberry, orange, and jackfruit.  

    📌Other Options Explanations:
    -Option A: Aggregate fruits are formed from a single flower with multiple ovaries.
    -Option C: Simple fruits develop from a single ovary.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    Varieties of Fruits

    • Fruits are categorized into three main groups based on the number of ovaries and flowers involved in their formation:
    -Simple Fruits: Simple fruits develop from a single mature ovary in a single flower. Examples of simple fruits include apples, pears, peaches, and tomatoes.  
    -Drupes: Also known as stone fruits due to the presence of a hard seed. Examples include cherries, peaches, and apricots.
    -Berries: These fruits contain a single seed and are juicy. Examples include strawberries, kiwis, and pomegranates.
    -Pomes: These fruits grow on trees. Examples include apples, pears, and quinces.
    -Hesperidium and Pepos: These fruits are similar to berries and include melons, citrus fruits.
    -Aggregate Fruits: Aggregate fruits develop from multiple mature ovaries formed in a single flower. Each ovary is referred to as a "fruitlet". Examples of aggregate fruits include blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
    -Composite Fruits: Composite fruits develop from an entire inflorescence. These are also known as multiple fruits.  
    -Sorosis: These are found in fruits like pineapples, jackfruits, and mulberries.
    -Syconus: This type develops from hypanthodium type of inflorescence.

    • Vivipary germination:
    -It is a special case of germination occurring in Mangrove (halophytes) plants.
    -Mangrove plants grow in swampy places around the seashore.
    -Halophyte plants can survive in highly salinized soils or water.
    -In this particular type of germination, the seed germinates inside the fruit while it is still attached to the parent plant.
