Caruncle develops from
-
Outer integument
-
Cotyledon
-
Funiculus
-
Inner integument
A. Seed in many members of the Euphorbiaceae, such as castor, the soft outgrowth capping the hard seed is formed by proliferation of the cells at the tip of the outer integument called caruncle. It is rich in starch and sugars.
B. Cotyledons- They are thin, semi-transparent and oval in outline in castor. They have palmate venation. The middle costa or rib is more prominent and bears a few lateral veins.
C. Funiculus- It is a stalk like structure which attaches the ovule to the placenta.
D. Inner integument- It forms the tegman, inner covering of seed.
So, the correct answer is ‘Outer Integument’.

-
Elettaria cardamomum
-
Cinnamomum zeylenicum
-
Eugenia caryophyllata
-
Zingiber officinale
Cardamoms are ripe and dried fruits of Elettaria cardamomum, commonly called green or true cardamoms. They are called the 'queen of spices' because of the aroma and taste.
In angiosperms, triple fusion produces
-
Polar nucleus
-
Secondary nucleus
-
Primary endospermic nucleus
-
Zygotic nucleus
Double fertilization process is observed in angiosperms in which syngamy takes place in the beginning. After syngamy the pollen tubes releases two male gametes, one fuses with the nucleus of egg cell and the other with the central cell and forms primary endosperm nucleus (PEN). The process is called as triple fusion as endosperm is triploid in nature.
Endosperm of flowering plants develops from

Haploid nucleus
-
Diploid nucleus
-
Triploid nucleus
-
Tetraploid nucleus
-
Polyploid nucleus

-
Endothecium
-
Perithecium

Epistase
Seeds contain embryo.
-
True
-
False
A fruit is a
-
Ripened ovary
-
Ripened ovule
-
Seed plus its integuments
-
Fused carpel
Fruit is a seed-bearing structure in flowering plants formed from the ovary after flowering. Fruits are the means by which angiosperms disseminate seeds. A fruit results from maturation of one or more flowers, and the gynoecium of the flower forms all or part of the fruit. The outer, often edible layer, is the pericarp, formed from the ovary and surrounding the seeds, although in some species other tissues contribute to or from the edible portion. The pericarp may be described in three layers from outer to inner, the epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp.
