how an apple compliments a pear?

Answer 1

I like this question. :-)

An apple compliments a pear by saying, "We have the same origin!".

You may have suspected that apples and pears are somewhat alike when you cut them transversely; because the ovary of an apple and a pear has the same kind of placentation.

Apple likes his friend, Pear so much because they have the same presonality. They both love being "false".

No kidding aside, both an apple and a pear are, in Botany, false fruits or "pseudocarps", because the whole fruit we consider is not pure carpel tissue in origin.

Let us consider how they were made (I won't use the bible story, sorry).

The ovary matures when within the ovule the sperm cell and the egg cell fuse. It becomes a fruit. However, the ovary of an apple and a pear flower is small. It fuses with the receptacle, and they grow together, making an apple or a pear fruit.

Thus, we get the moral lesson from the story: Even if it's a pseudocarp, it's okay to eat an apple or a pear because they are edible. :-)

Joking. We learn that they really are false fruits, but it's okay. The receptacle becomes the flesh and it's the sweet and succulent one we eat. Unfortunately for the ovary, we don't eat it. It's the hard core we throw away.

So that's it. Apple and pear are very happy because we don't actually eat them. They remain alive. We eat their covering, not the true fruit, their true selves, which is the carpel tissue. That's what makes them like each other for being false.

Both apple and pear are classified according to consistency as "pomes". We've heard of it, as far as I know.

So an apple compliments a pear again. "You're so great my friend, we've fooled them again!".

That's why we have to study Botany. So that we're not going to be fooled by these false fruits.

Hope my story helped. :-)
