Question

Fruit is a ripened (ovule/ovary).

Answer 1

Fertilization:

1. The fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote is called fertilization.
2. After fertilization, the ovary of a flower begins to grow and develops into a fruit. Hence a fruit is a mature or ripened ovary.
3. The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds. A fruit encloses the seeds inside.

Final answer: A fruit is a ripened ovary.
