Question

Do ovules mature into fruits?

Solution

Explanation:

No, the ovary grows into fruit in the flowering plant following fertilization, not the ovule.

  1. Ovules, which are found in the ovary, or basal portion of the female plant structure, the pistil, in a typical flowering plant, or angiosperm, produce seeds.
  2. During the fertilization process, the ovule is a structure made up of female reproductive cells that develops into a seed.
  3. After fertilization, each ovule develops into a seed. Each seed includes a tiny, immature plant called an embryo.

Hence, it can be concluded that ovules do not mature into fruits.
