Question

Which of the following parts of a flower develops into a fruit after fertilisation?

• A. Pistil
• B. Ovary
• C. Ovule
• D. Petal

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Ovary

• After fertilization, the ovary of a flower develops into a fruit, while the ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds.

• The ovules, which are located within the ovary, develop into seeds after fertilization.

• The seeds contain the embryo, which is the developing plant.

• Importance of Fertilization: Fertilization is the fusion of male (pollen) and female (egg cell within the ovule) gametes, triggering the development of both the fruit and the seeds.
