Q3. Fruit is
Solution
The fruit is a characteristic feature of the flowering plant. It is a mature or ripened ovary developed after the fertilisation. Simple Fruit A simple fruit is that fruit which is derived from the ovary a single flower. Depending upon the state of pericarp in the ripe fruit, a simple fruit can be dry or succulent.

Q4. Diadelphous condition is found in.
Solution
Diadelphous condition is found in family-Papilionaceae.
Diadelphous condition is found in family-Papilionaceae.
Q5. Inflorescence of family-Compositae is
Solution
The characteristic inflorescence found in family-Asteraceae or Compositae is capitulum. In this, peduncle becomes flattened and called receptacle. It bears sessile, bisexual florets called disc florets at the centre and one or two whorls of sessile unisexual (pistillate) florets called ray florets towards the periphery.

Q10. Modification of petiole into leaf-like structure is called
Solution
The lamina in compound leaf of some plants (e.g., Acacia sp, Parkinsonia) falls off soon and petiole gets modified into sickle shaped leafy structure, which performs photosynthesis. Such a modified petiole is called phyllode (phyllodia).
