Question

(i) Name the process by which a fruit is developed.
(ii) Explain the development process in brief.
(iii) Draw a neat, labelled diagram of the process.

Answer 1

(i) Reproduction is the process by which fruit is developed and it involves pollination and fertilization.

(ii)When a pollen grain reaches the stigma of a flower, it creates a pollen tube for the male gamete to move down the style and fertilize the ovule; fertilized ovules become seeds. After fertilization the petals drop or wither at this point and the ovary starts to enlarge and ripen into what we know as fruit.
