Correct option is D
The correct answer is (d) Fruit
Explanation:
- In plants, fertilization occurs when the male gamete (pollen) fuses with the female gamete (ovule).
- After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into a fruit, while the ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds.
- This process ensures the protection and dispersal of seeds for the next generation of plants.
Information Booster:
- Parts of a Flower After Fertilization:
- Ovary → Fruit
- Ovules → Seeds
- Sepals and Petals → Wither Away
- Importance of Fruit Formation:
- Protects the developing seeds.
- Aids in seed dispersal through animals, wind, or water.
- Examples of Fruit Formation:
- Mango, Apple, Tomato, and Pea Pods are examples where the ovary matures into a fruit.
