Question

Apple flowers are classified as which type based on ovary position?

Options

• Epigynous

• Hypogynous

• Superior

• Perigynous

Answer 1

Apple flowers are epigynous, characterized by an inferior ovary position where the floral parts are attached above the ovary. This results in the ovary being embedded in the receptacle tissue, which later develops into the fleshy fruit we consume.
