- multicarpellary syncarpous gynoecium
- multicarpellary apocarpus gynoecium
- complete inflorescence
- multicarpellary superior ovary.
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
An aggregate fruit or etaerio is a group of simple fruits that develop from free ovaries (apocarpous condition) of a single flower (single gynoecium).
Multicapellary is defined as flowers with many carpels.

Approach Solution -2
The Correct Answer is (B)
Real Life Applications
- Aggregate fruits are highly used as food. Some examples are mulberry, strawberry, blackberries, etc.
- Some of the aggregate fruits have medicinal aspects.
- The extract of berries is helpful in cosmetics.
- These fruits can be used to make dyes
Question can also be asked as
- What is an aggregate fruit?
- Give examples How does an aggregate fruit develop?
Approach Solution -3
The Correct Answer is (B)
Angiosperms are flowering plants that reproduce in a sexual manner. The flower is the main part of the plant that contains both male and female gametes. Sepal, petal, stamens, and pistils are the sections of flowers. The flowers can be unisexual (only stamen and pistil are present) or bisexual (both stamen and pistil are present).
Androecium
It contains the stamen and is the third whorl of the male reproductive portion. The two parts of the stamen are:
- Anther
- Filament
Gynoecium
It is the female reproductive organ and is the final whorl of the flower. The location is in the thalamus and is made of pistil. Gynoecium can be
- Monocarpellary
- Multicarpellary
- Syncarpous
- Apocarpous

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- A balloon is made of a material of surface tension S and has a small outlet. It is filled with air of density \( \rho \). Initially the balloon is a sphere of radius R. When the gas is allowed to flow out slowly at a constant rate, its radius shrinks as \( r(t) \). Assume that the pressure inside the balloon is \( P(r) \) and is more than the outside pressure (\( P_0 \)) by an amount proportional to the surface tension and inversely proportional to the radius. The balloon bursts when its radius reaches \( r_0 \). Then the speed of gas coming out of the balloon at \( r = R \) is :

Morphology of Flowering Plants
Morphology in flowering plants tells us that every plant has two systems such as a root system and a shoot system. The root system digs deep into the ground and structures a system of its own. On the other hand, the shoot system is the one that is above ground level and includes various plant parts.
Root System
The descending part of the plant grows under the soil roots. During the germination process, the radicle from the seed grows earthward and branches out. The branches along with the primary root are called the root system. Roots lack chlorophyll and therefore they are not green in color. Roots are positively geotropic and hydrotropic, that is, they grow downwards ground and water, and negatively phototropic, which is growing away from light.
There are three types of root systems found in plants are as follows:
- TapRoot System
- Fibrous Root System
- Adventitious Root System
Shoot System
The stem is also an essential element of the plant. It is the ascending portion of the plant axis that bears branches, flowers, leaves, and fruits, as well as aiding in water and mineral conduction. It is the plant's aerial portion, brought about from an embryo's plumule or germinating seeds. Young stems are ordinarily green, but they finally turn woody and brown.
