    Question: The fruit which is produced in tomato plant is

    Options:

    Drupe type
    Bepo type
    Berry type
    None of the above

    📌 Concept:
    -The fruit is a characteristic feature of flowering plants.
    -It is a mature or ripened ovary, developed after fertilization.
    -The fruit consists of a wall or pericarp and seeds.
    -The pericarp may be dry or fleshy.
    -When the pericarp is thick and fleshy, it is differentiated into the outer epicarp, the middle mesocarp, and the inner endocarp
    Explanation
    -True fruits are those that are developed from ovaries after fertilization eg. Tomato, guava, mango
    -False fruits are those that develop from parts other than the ovary eg. Apple
    -Parthenocarpic fruits are fruits that develop directly from ovaries without fertilization. They don’t have seeds, eg.  banana

    ✏️Fruits are classified as follows:
    -Simple fruits develop from a single ovary,
    -Drupe: They develop from monocarpellary superior ovaries and are one-seeded. eg. mango, coconut
    -Berries: Entire pericarp is fleshy, although skin is sometimes tough; maybe one or many-seeded. E.g. grape, tomato
    -Pepo: They are slightly similar to the berries and include fruits such as watermelon, citrus fruits
    -Pomes: Such fruits bloom from trees. For eg., apple, papaya
    -Whereas complex fruits develop from multiple mature ovaries(aggregate fruits) or sometimes an entire inflorescence(composite fruits).
