The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of fruit formed when the thalamus contributes to fruit formation, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Role of the Thalamus**: - The thalamus, also known as the receptacle, is the part of the flower that bears all the floral organs including petals, sepals, stamens, and carpels. 2. **Identify the Components of a Fruit**: - In flowering plants (angiosperms), the fruit typically develops from the ovary of the flower after fertilization. The ovary contains ovules that develop into seeds. 3. **Differentiate Between True and False Fruits**: - A true fruit is formed solely from the ovary after fertilization. In contrast, a false fruit (or accessory fruit) includes additional floral parts, such as the thalamus, in its structure. 4. **Examples of False Fruits**: - An example of a false fruit is the apple. In apples, the core (which is the true fruit) is surrounded by the fleshy part that develops from the thalamus, not the ovary. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when the thalamus contributes to the formation of the fruit, such fruits are termed as **false fruits**. ### Final Answer: The fruits in which the thalamus contributes to fruit formation are termed as **false fruits**. ---
