Chapter 38, Problem 7TYU
The black dots that cover strawberries are actually fruits formed from the separate carpels of a single flower. The fleshy and tasty portion of a strawberry derives from the receptacle of a flower with many separate carpels. Therefore, a strawberry is
- (A) a simple fruit with many seeds.
- (B) both a multiple fruit and an accessory fruit.
- (C) both a simple fruit and an aggregate fruit.
- (D) both an aggregate fruit and an accessory fruit.
