Question

During a class lecture, Moshami was taught that flower is the reproductive part of the plant. After fertilisation, a new plant can grow from the fruit when it falls on the ground as it contains seeds.
Considering the above description, which of the following represents the correct sequence in the life cycle of plants?

• A. Flowers $\to$ Fruits $\to$ Plant$\to$ Seed
• B. Plant $\to$ Seeds $\to$ Flowers $\to$ Fruits
• C. Seed $\to$ Plant $\to$ Flowers $\to$ Fruits
• D. Fruits $\to$ Flowers $\to$ Seed $\to$ Plant

Answer 1

The correct option is C Seed $\to$ Plant $\to$ Flowers $\to$ Fruits

After fertilisation, ovary develops into fruit and ovule develops into seed. Fruits enclose the seeds. When fruits fall onto the ground and release the seeds, new plants are formed (under favourable conditions).
