The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the fruit of mango, we will fill in the blanks step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the type of fruit (P)**: - The fruit of the mango is classified based on its structure. The options provided are "nut" and "drupe". - A drupe is a type of fruit that has an outer fleshy part surrounding a shell (the pit or stone) with a seed inside. Since mangoes have a fleshy exterior and a single seed inside, they are classified as drupes. - **Answer for P**: Drupe 2. **Determine the type of ovary (Q)**: - The options given are "bicarpillary", "monocarpillary", and "polycarpillary". - The term "monocarpillary" refers to a flower with one carpel (the female reproductive structure). Mango flowers typically have one carpel. - **Answer for Q**: Monocarpillary 3. **Identify the position of the ovary (R)**: - The options are "superior" and "inferior". - A superior ovary is one that is positioned above the other floral parts, while an inferior ovary is below them. In mangoes, the ovary is superior because it is located above the other floral parts. - **Answer for R**: Superior 4. **Determine the number of seeds (S)**: - The options provided include "one seeded". - Mango fruits typically contain one large seed, making them one-seeded. - **Answer for S**: One-seeded ### Final Answers: - P: Drupe - Q: Monocarpillary - R: Superior - S: One-seeded ### Complete Statement: The fruit of mango is **drupe**, developing from **monocarpillary**, **superior** ovaries and are **one-seeded**.
