Number 2
(2ai)
E (Pineapple): Multiple fruit
F (Orange): Berry
(2aii)
Axile placentation
(2aiii)
The ovules/seeds are attached to a central column within the ovary, characteristic of axile placentation.
(2bi)
E (Pineapple): False fruit (accessory fruit)
F (Orange): True fruit
(2bii)
E (Pineapple): It develops from the inflorescence (multiple flowers) and includes tissues other than the ovary.
F (Orange): It develops solely from the ovary of a single flower.
(2ci)
(i) Both are fleshy fruits.
(ii) Both contain seeds.
(iii) Both have a tough outer skin (rind).
(2cii)
[TABULATE]
=E (Pineapple)=
(i) Made up of many fused flowers/fruits
(ii) Has a rough, spiny outer skin
(iii) Seeds are scattered throughout flesh
=F (Orange)=
(i) Develops from a single flower
(ii)Has a smooth, leathery outer skin
(iii) Seeds are located in central locules
(2di)
Animal (or zoochory)
(2dii)
The fruit is fleshy, juicy, and attractive, encouraging animals to eat it and disperse the seeds.
