The correct Answer is:
To determine which dry fruits are developed from unilocular ovaries, we need to analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dry Fruits**: - Dry fruits are those where the pericarp (the fruit wall) is dry at maturity. They do not have fleshy parts like mesocarp or endocarp. 2. **Identifying Unilocular Ovaries**: - A unilocular ovary is one that has a single locule or chamber, which means it contains only one ovule or seed. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **I) Pepo**: - A pepo is a type of fleshy fruit, typically found in cucurbits like watermelon and cucumber. It develops from a multi-locular ovary, so this is not a dry fruit. - **II) Drupe of Mango**: - A drupe is a fleshy fruit with a hard stony endocarp (like a peach or mango). It has multiple layers (epicarp, mesocarp, endocarp) and is not a dry fruit. - **III) Cypsela**: - A cypsela is a dry fruit that develops from a unilocular ovary. It is typically one-seeded and does not split open at maturity (e.g., dandelion seeds). - **IV) Nut**: - A nut is a hard-shelled dry fruit that usually contains a single seed. It also develops from a unilocular ovary and does not split open at maturity. - **V) Legume**: - A legume is a dry fruit that develops from a unilocular ovary and typically contains multiple seeds. It does split open along two seams at maturity, but it is still classified as a dry fruit. 4. **Conclusion**: - The dry fruits that develop from unilocular ovaries are **Cypsela (III)**, **Nut (IV)**, and **Legume (V)**. Therefore, the correct answer is options **III, IV, and V**. ### Final Answer: The dry fruits developed from unilocular ovaries are **III) Cypsela, IV) Nut, and V) Legume**. ---
