How to create checkbox inside dropdown?

Question

I want to create a multiple selection dropbox list. Actually I have to select more than one option using a dropdown menu. When I simply do this as shown below:

    <select>
     <option><input type="checkbox"></option>
    </select>

Then checkbox is showing in front of dropdown field. But I want to create it for each option not for as a whole so that I can select more than one option. Is there any way to do this?

Here is a simple dropdown checklist:

var checkList = document.getElementById('list1');
checkList.getElementsByClassName('anchor')[0].onclick = function(evt) {
  if (checkList.classList.contains('visible'))
    checkList.classList.remove('visible');
  else
    checkList.classList.add('visible');
}

.dropdown-check-list {
  display: inline-block;
}

.dropdown-check-list .anchor {
  position: relative;
  cursor: pointer;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 5px 50px 5px 10px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

.dropdown-check-list .anchor:after {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  border-left: 2px solid black;
  border-top: 2px solid black;
  padding: 5px;
  right: 10px;
  top: 20%;
  -moz-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  transform: rotate(-135deg);
}

.dropdown-check-list .anchor:active:after {
  right: 8px;
  top: 21%;
}

.dropdown-check-list ul.items {
  padding: 2px;
  display: none;
  margin: 0;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-top: none;
}

.dropdown-check-list ul.items li {
  list-style: none;
}

.dropdown-check-list.visible .anchor {
  color: #0094ff;
}

.dropdown-check-list.visible .items {
  display: block;
}

<div id="list1" class="dropdown-check-list" tabindex="100">
  <span class="anchor">Select Fruits</span>
  <ul class="items">
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Apple </li>
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Orange</li>
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Grapes </li>
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Berry </li>
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Mango </li>
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Banana </li>
    <li><input type="checkbox" />Tomato</li>
  </ul>
</div>
