(N/A) Mango and coconut are drupe fruits. They develop from monocarpellary,superior ovaries and are one-seeded.
In mango,the fruit is differentiated into an outer thin epicarp,a middle fleshy edible mesocarp,and an inner stony hard endocarp.
In coconut,the edible part is the endosperm.
The milk of tender coconut represents the free-nuclear liquid endosperm,which later becomes cellular as it deposits along the inner wall of the endocarp.
