Dry indehiscent single-seeded fruit formed from bicarpellary syncarpous inferior ovary is
- berry
- cremocarp
- caryopsis
- cypsella
Answer
(4) cypsella
Solution
Cypsella is a dry, indehiscent, one-seeded fruit developing from a bicarpellary, syncarpous, inferior ovary, e.g., sunflower (family Asteraceae).
∵ Berry is fleshy, cremocarp splits into two mericarps, and caryopsis develops from a superior monocarpellary ovary (wheat, maize),
∴ the fruit described is cypsella.
