Question

appcarpous gynoecium​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a gynoecium has multiple, distinct (free, unfused) carpels, it is apocarpous. If a gynoecium has multiple carpels "fused" into a single structure, it is syncarpous. A syncarpous gynoecium can sometimes appear very much like a monocarpous gynoecium.

Answer 2

Gynoecium is the female reproductive part of a plant and is made up of one or more carpels.

Carpels consist of : Ovary , style & Stigma

Ovary : Enlarged basal part

Style : the elongated tube

Stigma : Receptive surface for pollen grains

▪︎Each ovary contains one or more ovules attached to a flattened cushion like placenta.

When more than one carpel is present ,

● If they are free - Apocarpous

eg: Lotus & Rose

● If they are fused - Syncarpous

Eg : mustard & tomato
