The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the identification of a one-chambered many-seeded fleshy fruit and a one-chambered one-seeded dry fruit that develop from inferior ovaries, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - A **fleshy fruit** typically refers to fruits that are soft and juicy when ripe, such as berries or drupes. - A **dry fruit** is one that does not have a fleshy pericarp (the part of the fruit formed from the ovary wall). - **Inferior ovary** means that the ovary is located below the other floral parts (such as petals and sepals). 2. **Identifying the Fleshy Fruit**: - We need a **one-chambered, many-seeded fleshy fruit**. - An example of this is a **Pepo**, which is a type of berry with a hard outer rind, commonly found in plants like watermelon and cucumber. It has multiple seeds within a single chamber. 3. **Identifying the Dry Fruit**: - Next, we need a **one-chambered, one-seeded dry fruit**. - An example of this is a **Caryopsis** (often referred to as a grain), which is a dry fruit where the seed is fused with the fruit wall. It is typically found in grasses. 4. **Confirming the Inferior Ovary**: - Both Pepo and Caryopsis develop from inferior ovaries (epigynous flowers), meaning that the ovary is positioned below the attachment of other floral parts. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is: - **One-chambered many-seeded fleshy fruit**: Pepo - **One-chambered one-seeded dry fruit**: Caryopsis ### Final Answer: - **Pepo** (for the fleshy fruit) and **Caryopsis** (for the dry fruit).
