Plants with inferior ovary usually bear

Plants with inferior ovary usually bear
  1. pseudocarps
  2. berries
  3. aggregate fruits
  4. seedless fruits

Solution

Explanation: - Inferior ovary: In flowers with an inferior ovary, the ovary is located below the attachment of other floral parts. Such flowers often develop fruits where parts of the flower other than the ovary also contribute to the fruit formation. - Pseudocarps (false fruits): These are fruits that develop from parts of the flower other than the ovary. In plants with inferior ovaries, such as apple or guava, the receptacle or other floral parts contribute to the fruit structure, making them pseudocarps. Other options: - (2) Berries: Berries are true fruits that develop from a single ovary. The ovary in this case is typically superior. - (3) Aggregate fruits: These are formed from multiple ovaries of a single flower, not necessarily related to the position of the ovary. - (4) Seedless fruits: These can develop due to parthenocarpy (development without fertilization) and are not directly related to the ovary position.
