Answer:
a. One
b. Ten
c. 150 - 300
d. 4 - 9
e. one seed
Explanation:
a. The fruit has one seed that is flattened and sticks to the flesh. The seed contains one or more embryos depending on the variety or type.
b.The orange contains a number of distinct carpels (segments) inside, typically about ten, each delimited by a membrane, and containing many juice-filled vesicles and usually a few seeds (pips).
c. Tomatoes are unique among the Solanaceae in that they are the only seed that is pubescent. The number of seeds per fruit typically ranges from about 150 to 300 or more seeds per fruit. Tomato seed germinates in the range of 50 to 95oF (10oC to 35oC).
e. The fruit of the plum tree is known as a drupe or stone fruit. By definition, a drupe has an outer fleshy part surrounding a hardened shell with one seed inside. So, to answer your question, a plum fruit has one seed.
d. Each flower will produce a pod containing four to nine seeds. Pea varieties have indeterminate or determinate flowering growth habit.
