Describe the characteristics of an ovary which would give rise to the simple fleshy accessory fruit and give an example of the fruit type
1 answer
An ovary that is inferior, contains numerous carpels, and has fleshy or succulent tissue would give rise to a simple fleshy accessory fruit. These types of fruits generally have one or more seeds that are surrounded by a juicy, edible mesocarp. Examples include grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkins.
