The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "An aggregate fruit develops from an inflorescence" is true or false, we need to analyze the definitions and characteristics of aggregate fruits and inflorescences. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Aggregate Fruits**: - Aggregate fruits develop from a single flower that has multiple carpels (also known as pistils). Each carpel can develop into a small fruit, and these small fruits fuse together to form the aggregate fruit. - Example: Raspberries and blackberries are examples of aggregate fruits. 2. **Definition of Inflorescence**: - An inflorescence is a cluster or arrangement of flowers on a single stem or axis. It can consist of multiple flowers that may or may not produce fruits. - Example: Pineapple is formed from an inflorescence. 3. **Understanding the Relationship**: - Since aggregate fruits arise from multiple carpels of a single flower, they do not develop from an inflorescence. - In contrast, fruits that develop from an inflorescence are called multiple fruits, which consist of the fusion of many flowers. 4. **Conclusion**: - Given that aggregate fruits develop from a single flower and not from an inflorescence, the statement "An aggregate fruit develops from an inflorescence" is **false**. ### Final Answer: The statement is **false**. ---
