Question 22

State the post-fertilisation changes that lead to fruit formation in plants.

Answer

After fertilisation, the zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule. The ovule develops a tough coat (seed coat) and is gradually converted into a seed. The ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form a fruit. The petals, sepals, stamens, style and stigma may shrivel and fall off.
