Solution

The number of ovules in an ovary:

  1. Yes, there exists an intense relationship between the ovules in an ovary and the number of seeds present in the fruit.
  2. The ovules' fates turn out to seed when the ovary gets ripened.
  3. The ovule is a structure that considers giving rise to and constitutes the female reproductive system.
  4. Ovules after fertilization, mature into the seed and the ovary develops into a fruit.
  5. So if all ovules present in an ovary are fertilized, the number of seeds present in the fruit will be equal to the number of ovules present in the ovary.
