Pericarp
The pericarp is not a part of the flower; it is a part of the fruit. The pericarp is the part of the fruit that develops from the ovary after fertilization and surrounds the seeds. It can have three layers: the exocarp (outer layer), mesocarp (middle layer), and endocarp (inner layer).
Oligopoly
An oligopoly is a market structure in which a few large firms dominate the market. These firms have significant control over pricing and supply, but they are interdependent, meaning the actions of one firm can influence the actions of the others. Due to the limited number of firms, they often engage in strategic planning and competitive tactics.
