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

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (A)   ​Ovary

1. A flower is the reproductive part of a plant, made up of components like the pistil, ovary, ovule, and petals.

2. After pollination, the ovules in the ovary are fertilized by sperm cells, resulting in the formation of seeds.

   • The ovary develops into a fruit, which protects the seeds until they are ready for dispersal.
   • Fruits can be either fleshy or dry, depending on the plant species and its reproductive strategy.

Information booster:

Ovule

The ovule, located inside the ovary, contains the female gamete (egg cell).

• When fertilized by the male gamete (sperm cell), it forms a zygote.

​Petal

​Petals are colorful and help attract pollinators like bees and butterflies but do not directly participate in reproduction.

​Pistil

The pistil is the female reproductive organ of a flower and consists of:

• Stigma: Receives pollen.
• Style: Connects the stigma to the ovary.
• Ovary: Develops into a fruit after fertilization.
