Can 'which' modify a noun in a sentence?

Hi there Emotion: smile


I'm wondering whether 'which' can modify a noun in a sentence.

For instance,

"Apple is a kind of fruits, which is red."

in this sentence, red=apple but not red=fruits or a kind of fruits..

is this grammarly right ?


Hope I'll find the answer soon!

Thanx.

(Most people would use 'that' instead of 'which'.)
